function Get-ATEC2LatestAMI { <# .SYNOPSIS Build a CloudFormation mapping for the latest version of an AMI in all accessible regions. .DESCRIPTION Given an AMI search filter, the script enumerates all known regions looking for the newest AMI that matches the criteria Depending on where you are and your account permissions, some regions will not return a value e.g. China and Gov Cloud. Ensure you have the latest version of AWSPowerShell if AWS has recently added new regions. .PARAMETER ImageName Name of image to search for (may include wildcards). .PARAMETER Filter Filter in Amazon filter syntax to more accurately specify an image to search for. .PARAMETER MappingName Name of the mapping to generate. .OUTPUTS A hashtable of hashtables which can be piped to ConvertTo-Json to get a block of code that can be pasted into a CF template. If you have installed a YAML converter like https://github.com/cloudbase/powershell-yaml, then the output can also be piped to ConvertTo-Yaml. Or you can use the result object itself in some other process. .NOTES IAM permissions required to run this command - ec2:DescribeImages .EXAMPLE Get-LatestAMI -ImageName 'amzn-ami-vpc-nat-hvm*' -MappingName 'NatAMI' | ConvertTo-Json Gets the latest Amazon Linux NAT instance AMIs. .EXAMPLE Get-LatestAMI -Filter @{'Name' = 'name'; Values = 'amzn-ami-vpc-nat-hvm*'} -MappingName 'NatAMI' | ConvertTo-Json Gets the latest Amazon Linux NAT instance AMIs using a filter expression. .LINK https://github.com/fireflycons/aws-toolbox/tree/master/docs/en-US/Get-ATEC2LatestAMI.md #> param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'ByName', Mandatory = $true)] [string]$ImageName, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'ByFilter', Mandatory = $true)] $Filter, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string]$MappingName ) if ($PSCmdLet.ParameterSetName -ieq 'ByName') { # Set a filter from the user supplied name $Filter = @( @{'Name' = 'name'; Values = $ImageName} ) } # Create hashtable for results.
