I'd like to say thanks for putting the AMI's for recent releases in the aws
parameter store, this certainly makes it easier for automation purposes.
Ooh, someone is actually using these? Awesome! Good to know it's not
just me. :-)
BTW depending on the nature of your automation you might also want to
subscribe to SNS notifications of new AMIs:
arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:782442783595:FreeBSDAMI
I have one request though - in the release notes could we update the prose
stating you can get the AMI's from the parameter store to include a hint about
how to do it using the CLI?
Good idea.
Perhaps it could be updated to something similar to:
"FreeBSD/aarch64 EC2 AMI IDs can be retrieved from the Systems Manager
Parameter Store via the AWS CLI by running the following command:
'aws --region $REGION ssm get-parameter --name $KEY'
where $REGION is your desired AWS region, and $KEY is one of the following:"
Does this look good?
FreeBSD/amd64 EC2 AMI IDs can be retrieved from the Systems Manager
Parameter Store via the AWS CLI using the command
% aws --region $REGION ssm get-parameter --name $KEY
where $REGION is the desired region and $KEY is one of the following keys:
/aws/service/freebsd/amd64/base/ufs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/amd64/base/zfs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/amd64/cloud-init/ufs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/amd64/cloud-init/zfs/15.0/CURRENT
FreeBSD/aarch64 EC2 AMI IDs can be retrieved using the keys:
/aws/service/freebsd/arm64/base/ufs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/arm64/base/zfs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/arm64/cloud-init/ufs/15.0/CURRENT
/aws/service/freebsd/arm64/cloud-init/zfs/15.0/CURRENT
I can make this change for next week's snapshot announcements.
