Install Bamboo on EC2 using the Bamboo default Images, what are they?

Jayson Minard

Since the default Bamboo images for Elastic Bamboo contain all the build tools, it seems like those would be useful to install Bamboo itself so that a local agent will have all those tools. But no where do you list the valid current AWS images for Bamboo, and searching in marketplace yields none, and searching in community lists many that have no descriptions, and lack enough detail to know which is a likely valid candidate. All answers on this forum before are "select US-EAST and see them", well if you are using OnDemand maybe you can do that, but installing from scratch and searching you end up with a trash pile of options with no clarity. Provide some clarity, for current Bamboo, what is the AMI ID?

Later, maybe you can come up with naming convention of the AMI's to make this clear when someone DOES search for them.

And found another dead end for this:

On this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Creating+a+custom+elastic+image

There is a hidden part of the page that says "If you want to find out the AMI IDs for a version of Bamboo you don't have running or you're starting an image from scratch and you need the image baseline, click here..." which tells you:

1. Open the following URL: https://maven.atlassian.com/content/repositories/atlassian-public/com/atlassian/bamboo/atlassian-bamboo/ in a web browser.
2. On the resulting directory page, click the link that represents the version of Bamboo you are currently running. For example, if you are running Bamboo 3.4.4, click on the 3.4.4 link. Another directory page opens, listing a .pom and some additional checksum files.
   Do not click on a version number link that contains 'mX', 'rcX' or 'betaX' (where 'X' is a number), since these relate to publicly available developmental releases of Bamboo.
3. Open the atlassian-bamboo-x.x.x.pom file (where x.x.xis your version of Bamboo). The image version/baseline is stored in elastic-image.version tag. For example, for version 3.4.4, the baseline was 1.7 .
4. Open the following URL: https://maven.atlassian.com/content/repositories/atlassian-public/com/atlassian/bamboo/atlassian-bamboo-elastic-image/ in a web browser.
5. Click on the image baseline version you found in the elastic-image.version tag.
6. On the resulting directory page, the file with ami extension contains all stock image AMI ids.

Therefore for version 5.5.1 has a version tag of:

<elastic-image.version>3.3</elastic-image.version>

Which leads to a zip file atlassian-bamboo-elastic-image-3.3.zip but does not lead to any AMI ID numbers. There is no "On the resulting directory page, the file with ami extension contains all stock image AMI ids" on the pages as described. The documentation is out of date.
