Hello #general Team, We have elasticsearch running in gcp I want to setup the index creation in an automated way. So I configured a cloudbuild pipeline to read the context from the file and push it to es. But I have the file in .md format, looks like i need to convert the same to json to push it. Is there any other way to do the same? Any help pls.

What are folks using to visualize their terraform? I’d rather not have to keep a diagram update as the infrastructure changes over time
does @cloudposse919 do devops acceleration services for aws only? If so, are there companies out there who do the same thing for GCP/Azure?
Yes, unfortunately, our domain expertise is predominantly in AWS. We can provide general expertise around Terraform, Cloud Automation, Atmos, etc. and we have customers using Azure and GCP. But in terms of implementation, you’re likely best served by a partner specializing in that cloud.
Feel free to post opportunities in the #jobs channel

Is there any concern with using Leapp now that the parent company has shut down (in May this year)?
It is still part of the Noovolari GH organization and does not seem to have a CODEOWNERS file.
I think Leapp will continue to function just fine, but I’ve never liked it much as a tool. If you’re using AWS SSO, I recommend checking out github.com/synfinatic/aws-sso-cli, otherwise falling back to aws-vault like the good ol’ days.
Finally if you’re using SAML like us.. you could use saml2aws.
As for GUI competitors, I’m not sure of any that are worth checking out.
I will check out aws-sso-cli! That might be exactly what I am looking for.
@kevcube does aws-sso-cli launch a browser for the auth portion?
it can print the link to console for use in headless environments too
Cool, that should get around a lot of the issues we had with similar CLI tools
the maintainer is super responsive too
Re: the shutdown, there’s dicussions in our archives of this.
TL;DR: Leapp was spun off from the parent company into another company called Noovolari as a “start up”. Noovolari failed to raise additional funding and shut down. The parent of Noovolari is alive and well, and continues to use Leapp. They use Leapp in their consulting business with their clients.
Got it. Thanks for the context! I am going to check out aws-sso-cli for now and will report back how this works.

I have played around with aws-sso-cli and I like how it works on my host. I have started trying to integrate it into geodesic and am having some issues with how geodesic works I think.
I have found that I need to manually set SHELL=/usr/bin/bash to convince aws-sso that I am actually using bash. Once I do that everything seems to work as expected. This made me wonder, though, why SHELL is not set in geodesic? I could pretty easily add this to our custom Dockerfile, but I first want to understand what I might be breaking if I do so.
@Ryan Ernst I don’t know why you would manually need to set SHELL. Bash sets it automatically, although it does not export it. It seems to me setting SHELL to something else is covering up some other kind of misconfiguration, but sometimes that is what you have to do.
Instead of setting SHELL explicitly, I suggest you just export it with
declare -x SHELL
@Jeremy G (Cloud Posse), thanks for the response!
I think the root cause is this isBashLike function: https://github.com/synfinatic/aws-sso-cli/blob/81dad2336a4dd0c5d671b0f22b2ba1d511b19f6f/cmd/aws-sso/eval_cmd.go#L154
func isBashLike() bool {
supportedShells := []string{"bash", "fish", "zsh", "sh"}
shell := os.Getenv("SHELL")
for _, s := range supportedShells {
if strings.HasSuffix(shell, fmt.Sprintf("/%s", s)) {
return true
}
// windows
if strings.HasSuffix(shell, fmt.Sprintf("\\%s.exe", s)) {
return true
}
}
return false
}
@Ryan Ernst You can file a bug report about that. Meanwhile, exporting SHELL as I suggested should take care of it, and will not adversely affect Geodesic (AFAIK).
Sounds good! Thanks for the help!
Right. But it is not exported, so
shell := os.Getenv("SHELL")
is effectively
shell := ""
I am happy to make an issue for this with aws-sso-cli but I am confused as to why this issue surfaces only inside of geodesic. I would like to come with some information when I make the issue.
My hypothesis is that inside the geodesic container, we are running as root. This Stack Exchange thread suggests that login is responsible for setting SHELL, and maybe because we are root and login is not being used, we are not seeing anything for SHELL? This doesn’t add up for me, though, because, as @kevcube proved, we can do echo $SHELL in geodesic and see what we expect.
I feel like this is exposing some fundamental misunderstanding or gap I have about environment variables and shell variables.
@Jeremy G (Cloud Posse) Do you have any hunch here? Or maybe some resource you can share where I can do some more learning to fill in my gaps?
I don’t have a lot to add here. My understanding is that SHELL is set by the shell itself. If you run the base debian Docker image, you will see what you see in Geodesic: SHELL is set but not exported.
POSIX says SHELL “shall represent a pathname of the user’s preferred command language interpreter”. So for Geodesic, just export it.
@Ryan What’s your usage pattern like with aws-sso-cli? It’s quite flexible, in automation I like to use the aws-sso config-profiles command to generate/append to a ~/.aws/config file and then I can hardcode my profiles into scripts/tooling that is human-run but needs to operate from a specific role.
@kevcube So far, I have just been using the aws-sso-profile shell helpers for my own testing.
I am the only one using it and want to work through all of the issues before I suggest it to the rest of our team.
In our GH Actions, we already use configure-aws-credentials to manage creds.
We have some Ansible playbooks where I currently use the AWS CLI and aws sts to get credentials. I will probably update these playbooks to use to use aws-sso eval <profile> .
The main thing I like about aws-sso is that it is much more friendly (IMO) than just using aws sso and managing sso configs. We have some data science and QA engineers who sometimes want to provision sandbox infra as a PoC or access data in s3 for some script, and it is always a pain to help them get everything working correctly.
I really like the geodesic + aws-sso approach as a way to simplify these kinds of human-run use cases.
