ebs-pin

Pin EBS volumes to EC2 hosts.

pip install ebs-pin3

Previous versions for 2.7 are available as

pip install ebs-pin

Features

  • If EBS volume exists in same AZ as EC2 instance
    • Attaches it
  • If volume exists in another AZ, then
    • Creates a volume from snapshot and attaches it
  • Otherwise, it creates a new volume and attaches it

Also has a method to create snapshots you can place in cron, and is able to tag volumes

Usage

Attach a new or existing volume

ebs-pin attach -h # Help!
ebs-pin attach -u some-arbitrary-static-id -d /dev/xvdf -s 10 -t gp2 --tags Team=DevOps Application=UnDevOpsLikeHost

Snapshot the current attached volume

ebs-pin snapshot -h # Help!
ebs-pin snapshot -u some-arbitrary-static-id --tags SnappedTag=ChooseSomething

Thanks to

  • This is almost line for line copy of stapler code in Ruby
  • A shout out goes to Gonz who thought of it originally

Build notes

TODO

  • Check if already mounted before attempting to run again
