Opsgenie CloudFormation Resources

AWS CloudFormation provides an extensible Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capability which gives developers and businesses an easy way to create a collection of related AWS and third-party resources, and provision and manages them in an orderly and predictable fashion.

Using these capabilities, Atlassian Opsgenie has created its own Custom Resource types, namely:

1 2 3 4 5 Atlassian::Opsgenie::User Atlassian::Opsgenie::Team Atlassian::Opsgenie::Integration

These schemas can be leveraged by the CloudFormation users to potentially simplify the configuration of their Opsgenie and AWS environments.

Defining Opsgenie custom resources

To create resources using Opsgenie custom resource type, you will need:

  1. An AWS account to run CloudFormation stack operations.

  2. An Opsgenie account to create your resources.

  3. Optionally, you will need AWS CloudFormation CLI to perform CRUD operations in your stack.

There are two ways to enable Opsgenie Resource types:

  • You can use the resource types by enabling Opsgenie third-party resources from AWS third-party Registry in your AWS Account. Please follow this link to understand more.

  • You can publish these resources to your Private Registry. For more information go to Opsgenie's open source Github repository.

Create your own Opsgenie Resources

Let's create:

  • Two users using Atlassian::Opsgenie::User resource type schema.

  • A team using Atlassian::Opsgenie::Team with those users.

  • An Opsgenie SNS integration using Atlassian::Opsgenie::Integration of an SNS topic with a subscription.

The resource .json file would look something like the example below.

Once you have created the stack.json file, you can create your stacks using AWS console or AWS CLI

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 { "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09", "Description": "Opsgenie Test Users", "Parameters": { "OpsgenieApiKey": { "Description": "Enter Opsgenie Api Key", "Type": "String" }, "OpsgenieApiEndpoint": { "Description": "Enter Opsgenie Api endpoint", "Type": "String", "Default": "https://api.opsgenie.com", "AllowedValues": [ "https://api.opsgenie.com", "https://api.eu.opsgenie.com", "https://api.sandbox.opsgenie.com" ] } }, "Resources": { "UserA": { "Type": "Atlassian::Opsgenie::User", "Properties": { "ApiKey": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiKey" }, "Endpoint": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiEndpoint" }, "Username": "opsgenie-user1@opsgenie.com", "FullName": "user one", "Role": "User" } }, "UserB": { "Type": "Atlassian::Opsgenie::User", "Properties": { "ApiKey": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiKey" }, "Endpoint": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiEndpoint" }, "Username": "opsgenie-user2@opsgenie.com", "FullName": "user two", "Role": "User" } }, "TeamA": { "Type": "Atlassian::Opsgenie::Team", "Properties": { "ApiKey": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiKey" }, "ApiEndpoint": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiEndpoint" }, "Name": "uuu-test-team-ops", "Description": "Test team with 2 user for demonstration", "Members": [ { "UserId": { "Ref": "UserA" }, "Role": "user" }, { "UserId": { "Ref": "UserB" }, "Role": "user" } ] }, "DependsOn": [ "UserA", "UserB" ] }, "IntegrationTest": { "Type": "Atlassian::Opsgenie::Integration", "Properties": { "ApiKey": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiKey" }, "Endpoint": { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiEndpoint" }, "IntegrationType": "AmazonSns", "Name": "test awsSns", "Responders": [ { "type": "team", "name": { "Fn::GetAtt": [ "TeamA", "Name" ] } } ], "Enabled": true }, "DependsOn": [ "TeamA" ] }, "MySns": { "Type": "AWS::SNS::Topic", "Properties": { "DisplayName": "opsgenie-test-aws", "Subscription": [ { "Endpoint": { "Fn::Join": [ "", [ { "Ref": "OpsgenieApiEndpoint" }, "/v1/json/amazonsns?apiKey=", { "Fn::GetAtt": [ "IntegrationTest", "IntegrationApiKey" ] } ] ] }, "Protocol": "https" } ], "TopicName": "opsgenie-test-demo" }, "DependsOn": [ "IntegrationTest" ] } } }
