Shell script to initiate OpsWorks application deployments using AWC CLI scripts. We use this script as part of our continuous deployment to initiate the deployment on OpsWorks and then monitor for the results.

After initiating a deployment it will continue to check the status of that deployment and monitor for success or fail. The script will exit with status 0 on success.

We're open to enhancements so please submit pull requests or ideas if you have them. So far this is pretty quick and dirty, but works pretty well.

Usage:

./opsworks-deploy <aws-region> <stack-id> <application-id>

Example:

$ ./opsworks-deploy us-east-1 1234-sdfhjkuytfdcxswerfgvbnk-23456 2234-akflshfiwefjnfsfdsdffs-111

AWS CLI tools

This script makes use of the Amazon Web Services command line interface tools. They can be installed by running pip install awscli. The tool expects environment variables to be set for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. These you get from AWS when you create a deployment IAM user.
