CircleCI PyPI Downloads PyPI Version AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment extractor/utility

This is a command line utility to manage environment variables from AWS Elastic Beanstalk app environments, to either re-use the same configuration locally or to import into another environment.

Currently two methods of extraction are supported, and one method to copy/sync variables between environments:

env

env dumps environment variables in a key=value format, example:

$ ebenv env app-name app-env-name
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=abcdefghijklmnopqrstvwuxyz
BUGSNAG_API_KEY=deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef
PARAM1=value
PARAM2=value
...

$ ebenv env app-name app-env-name > envfile
$ docker run --rm -it --env-file=envfile app/name
...

envdir

envdir dumps environment variables into an envdir as used by tools such as djb's envdir, runit's chpst, or one of the other clones, example:

$ ebenv envdir app-name app-env-name
found 4 vars, will write to '.env/*' [y/N]: n
Exiting..

envdir will prompt before writing any files or creating the directory, and a --target_dir option can be specified:

$ ebenv envdir app-name app-env-name --target_dir=.ebenv-copy
found 4 vars, will write to '.ebenv-copy/*' [y/N]: y
.ebenv-copy did not exists, creating

$ ls .ebenv-copy/
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID BUGSNAG_API_KEY   PARAM1            PARAM2

A simple grep can verify that the env files contain the desired data:

$ grep . .ebenv-copy/*
.ebenv-copy/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:abcdefghijklmnopqrstvwuxyz
.ebenv-copy/BUGSNAG_API_KEY:deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef
.ebenv-copy/PARAM1:value
.ebenv-copy/PARAM2:value

copy

copy copies the environment variables from one environment within an EB app to another environment in the same app. Can optionally be used to remove vars from the destination environment, that are not found in the source environment.

$ ebenv copy app-name app-env-name new-app-env-name 
Source environment 'app-env-name'  has 22 options
Performing environment update...
Done, please check your EB web console to see the environment update progress

Right now copy will overwrite any values in the destination environment for keys found in the source environment. If you specify the --remove option, it will remove any keys in the destination environment not found in the source environment.

$ ebenv copy app-name app-env-name new-app-env-name
Source environment 'app-env-name'  has 22 options
Will remove 2 options from destination environment 'new-app-env-name'
...

This command is potentially very dangerous and destructive at this point, especially if --remove is used. Use with care.

Setup

$ make
virtualenv venv
New python executable in /Users/ses/w/ebenv/venv/bin/python2.7
Also creating executable in /Users/ses/w/ebenv/venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
venv/bin/python setup.py develop
...

Now ebenv is installed and available in the local venv, and can be used either by activating the virtualenv (source venv/bin/activate) or by running it directly from the venv: venv/bin/ebenv.

Dependencies

ebenv depends on boto3 and relies on boto3 being able to find standard AWS credentials either via AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars in the local shell, or from ~/.aws/(config|credentials).

Future

Write more options for copy, it might be useful to prompt for every detected change, to allow finer-grained copying of variables. Maybe a --dryrun switch to show the intended deltas.

Other useful commands might include a way to set an environment based on an env file or an envdir, basically the opposite of those two commands in the utility right now.
