Fedora CoreOS and Fedora Cloud release utility. Releases are done in two stages, each with their own command: pre-release and release. Both of these commands are idempotent.

plume release

Publish a new CoreOS release. This makes uploaded images public and updates indexes.

Pre-flight

AWS

Before you can create AMIs you need to ensure you have the following created:

• S3 bucket
• VM Import Service Role
• VM role-policy
• Optional: Allow VM Import Service Role to read KMS for disk encryption

Create S3 Bucket

Create a S3 bucket:

aws s3 mb s3://my-cool-example-plume-bucket --region us-east-2

Replace my-cool-example-plume-bucket with your unique S3 bucket name. Make sure to put in the correct region.

Create Import Service Role:

In order for plume to be able to create AMIs, it needs a role and role policy created. You can read more about it in detail here.

Save this to vmimport-trust-policy.json:

{
   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
      {
         "Effect": "Allow",
         "Principal": { "Service": "vmie.amazonaws.com" },
         "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
         "Condition": {
            "StringEquals":{
               "sts:Externalid": "vmimport"
            }
         }
      }
   ]
}

Use this file to create the new plume role:

aws iam create-role --role-name plume --assume-role-policy-document "file://vmimport-trust-policy.json"

Save this to plume-role-policy.json and replace my-cool-example-plume-bucket with the correct S3 bucket name:

{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Action":[
            "s3:GetBucketLocation",
            "s3:GetObject",
            "s3:ListBucket"
         ],
         "Resource":[
            "arn:aws:s3:::my-cool-example-plume-bucket",
            "arn:aws:s3:::my-cool-example-plume-bucket/*"
         ]
      },
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Action":[
            "ec2:ModifySnapshotAttribute",
            "ec2:CopySnapshot",
            "ec2:RegisterImage",
            "ec2:Describe*"
         ],
         "Resource":"*"
      }
   ]
}

Assign the plume role policy to the vmimport role:

aws iam put-role-policy --role-name vmimport --policy-name plume --policy-document "file://plume-role-policy.json"

Optional: Allow the plume role to use KMS to read encrypted S3 buckets.

If you get this error:

The service role does not exist or does not have sufficient permissions for the service to continue

You might have S3 SSE enabled and you need to add this policy to the plume role.

Save this to: plume-s3-sse-role-policy.json:

{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Action":[
            "kms:Decrypt"
         ],
         "Resource":"*"
      }
   ]
}

aws iam put-role-policy --role-name plume --policy-name plume-s3-sse --policy-document "file://plume-s3-sse-role-policy.json"

Testing

Perform the "release"

bin/plume pre-release -C user --verify-key ~/keyfile -V $version-$COREOS_BUILD_ID
bin/plume release -C user -V <version>-$COREOS_BUILD_ID

Fedora Cloud Releases

There are two sub-commands to do a Fedora Cloud Release: pre-release and release. When using pre-release plume will download the compose-id from the specified channel, extract the contents, and upload it to S3. From there it will use the import VM feature within AWS to create a private AMI from S3 and it will make it available across all regions. When using release it will make these AMIs public.

Here is an example of doing a Fedora Cloud pre-release with plume:

./bin/plume pre-release                   \
  --distro fedora                         \
  --channel cloud                         \
  --version 30                            \
  --timestamp 20190819                    \
  --respin 0                              \
  --arch x86_64                           \
  --compose-id Fedora-Cloud-30-20190819.0 \
  --image-type Cloud-Base                 \
  --debug

Here is an example of doing a Fedora Cloud release with plume:

./bin/plume release                       \
  --distro fedora                         \
  --channel cloud                         \
  --version 30                            \
  --timestamp 20190819                    \
  --respin 0                              \
  --arch x86_64                           \
  --compose-id Fedora-Cloud-30-20190819.0 \
  --image-type Cloud-Base                 \
  --debug

Clean up

Delete:

• AWS AMIs and snapshots in us-west-1, us-west-2, and us-east-2
