Goals available for this plugin:
| Goal | Description |
|---|---|
| ec2:describeinstances | Connect to EC2 and list instances associated with this account |
| ec2:findinstance | Connect to EC2 and find a single instance based on a tag/value pair |
| ec2:launch | Connect to EC2 and launch a a single instance configured according
to user preferences. By default, the plugin waits until the
instance reaches the state of "running" before allowing the build
to continue. Once an EC2 instance is "running" Amazon has assigned
it a public dns name. The public dns name, the instance id, and the
value of the tag "Name" (if that tag is supplied) are stored as the
project properties ec2.instance.dns,
ec2.instance.id, ec2.instance.name,
respectively. If wait is false, the
ec2.instance.dns property will not be set since the
instance will not have a public dns name by the time the plugin
execution completes. |
| ec2:taginstance | Connect to EC2 and tag an instance with name/value pairs. Each instance can have up to 10 tags |
| ec2:terminate | Connect to EC2 and terminate the indicated instance. |
