891871 - enable VNC access to aws machines

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

Ideally, we would do this just for test machines, but Rail tells me that we can't easily reassign sec groups. With his approval I added an inbound rule for tcp/5900 for the default security group.

I created a separate security group for test VMs and applied it to existing slaves:

us-east-1:

from boto.ec2 import connect_to_region

c = connect_to_region("us-east-1")
res = c.get_all_instances(filters={"tag:Name": 'tst-*'})
instances = reduce(lambda a, b: a + b, [r.instances for r in res])
for i in instances:
    c.modify_instance_attribute(i.id, "groupset", ["sg-f0f1239f"])


us-west-2:

from boto.ec2 import connect_to_region

c = connect_to_region("us-west-2")
res = c.get_all_instances(filters={"tag:Name": 'tst-*'})
instances = reduce(lambda a, b: a + b, [r.instances for r in res])
for i in instances:
    c.modify_instance_attribute(i.id, "groupset", ["sg-8b9f7ce4"])


and reverted changes to the default security group (removed 5900)
