vmware.greengrass_init

#greengrass-init

This role configures a minimum set of items in an existing AWS account to allow the deployment of AWS Greengrass groups, cores, and devices.

Requirements

A previously configured AWS CLI is required, with credentials already configured with sufficient permissions to create AWS Greengrass objects.

This role uses the json_query filter which requires jmespath on the local machine.

Variables

The following configuration variables affect the operation of this role:

• greengrass_group_names List of greengrass groups to create.
• greengrass_device_stub Base name for devices to be created.
• greengrass_device_count Role will create this many devices, prepending a number to the device_stub above.
• root_ca_checksum This is the checksum of the root CA used by Greengrass, and should not change in most circumstances.
• greengrass_s3_bucket AWS S3 bucket to store generated Greengrass configuration files.
• lambda_role Role document to allow Lambda execution, a typical Greengrass feature.
• greengrass_service_role Role to allow Greengrass and IoT access.
• greengrass_core_policy Policy to be applied to Greengrass core (by default IoT and Greengrass is assumed).
• greengrass_device_policy Policy to applied to devices (again, IoT and Greengrass is default).
