What’s the correct way to dynamically populate the list given to the attribute Value? At the moment its its fixed to 3 (0-2), but would be more useful if it was based on INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["instances"].
I was thinking along the lines of list comprehension but unsure how to write it into the code.
for i in INSTANCE_PARAMS:
output = template.add_output([
Output(
str(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"]).capitalize() + "Ips",
Description="IPs for " + str(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"]),
Value=Join(",", [
GetAtt(ec2.Instance(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"] + "0"), "PrivateIp"),
GetAtt(ec2.Instance(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"] + "1"), "PrivateIp"),
GetAtt(ec2.Instance(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"] + "2"), "PrivateIp"),
],
),
)
],
)
INSTANCE_PARAMS = {
"masters": {
"name": "master",
"instances": 3,
"image_id": "ami-xxxxxxxxxx",
"instance_type": "t1.micro",
"security_group_id": [
"MasterSG",
"ClusterSG"
],
},
}
Achieved it with the following:
template = Template()
for i in INSTANCE_PARAMS:
# declared a new list
tag_value = []
# got the counter
for r in range(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["instances"]):
# added each one to the new list
tag_value.append(GetAtt(ec2.Instance(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"] + str(r)), "PrivateIP"))
output = template.add_output([
Output(
str(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"]).capitalize() + "Ips",
Description="IPs for " + str(INSTANCE_PARAMS[i]["name"]),
# passed in the list
Value=Join(",", tag_value,
),
)
],
)
print(template.to_yaml())
