Make AWS AMI public by fog

Question

I am using fog to create an ami from running instance:

@fog = Fog::Compute.new(
        :provider => 'AWS',
        :region => 'us-west-2',
        :aws_access_key_id => aws_access_key,
        :aws_secret_access_key => aws_secret_key
    )
@fog.create_image(instance.identity,image_name,image_description)

Can I use fog to make this ami public?

Answer 1

I've found how to do it, I need to add one line to the code above:

@fog.modify_image_attribute(image_id,{'Add.Group' => ['all']}

If the image has status 'pending' (like in my case), it will throw an exception, so the final modification is:

@fog = Fog::Compute.new(
        :provider => 'AWS',
        :region => 'us-west-2',
        :aws_access_key_id => aws_access_key,
        :aws_secret_access_key => aws_secret_key
    )
data = @fog.create_image(instance.identity,image_name,image_description)

image_id = data.body['imageId']

print 'Waiting ami to come up'

begin
  @fog.modify_image_attribute(image_id,{'Add.Group' => ['all']})
rescue
  print(".")
  sleep(10)
  retry
end

puts 'READY!'
