Inspec (Kitchen) Multiple Control / Target Types - test-kitchen

It doesn't seem as if I am able to run Inspec against multiple targets using different controls. For instance I have the following:
control "aws" do
describe aws_ec2_instance(name: 'Terraform Test Instance') do
it { should exist }
end
end
And I have the following
control 'operating_system' do
describe command('lsb_release -a') do
its('stdout') { should match (/Ubuntu/) }
end
end
When I run inspec directly I can pass -t for either ssh or aws, and the aws control works when I pass the aws target (aws://us-east-1) and the operating system control passes when I pass the ssh target.
Is there a way to make BOTH of these run using Kitchen-Inspec? I found the feature request that was closed by Inspec team that multiple targets is out of scope Issue 268, I didn't know however if Kitchen addressed this since it wraps Inspec.

No, this is not supported by Kitchen-Inspec. We only aim to support host-based tests since it's part of an integration testing cycle for that host.

Amazon EventBridge won't send events via 2 rules nor 2 targets within one rule

Within Amazon Eventbridge, I'm listening for Transcribe events such as the following:
{
"source": ["aws.transcribe"],
"detail-type": ["Transcribe Job State Change"],
"detail": {
"TranscriptionJobStatus": ["FAILED", "COMPLETED"]
}
}
I need to send this event to development (via Ngrok), to staging, and to production, each time with a query parameter indicating which environment triggered the transcription.
Having worked on this simple usecase for a full day, it simple seems bugged:
The first rule, target and connection that I set up functions fine.
Adding additional targets to this rule do not function
Brand new rules I add to receive and handle the events do not work
Deleting everything and rebuilding, again, the first rule, target and connection will function (even if this is to a different environment.)
So for example, I've had dev but not staging working, ripped it all down, and then rebuilt, and ended up with staging but not dev working.
What on earth is going on?
We fixed it after considerable trial and error.
It's not clear what the root cause is. Likely issues were:
When a role is created for your connections the first time, it will be created with the correct permissions. Check all IAM permissions with a fine tooth comb.
AWS Events only fire when the triggering system and the rules are in the same region (e.g. us-east-1)
To help debug, export the cloud formation templates for systems that are working and are not working to see if there are any differences in the set-up.
The rest of this answer is simply going to be advice to anyone considering using AWS EventBridge: run.

Concurrent workflow not starting from PMCMD Command

I have a requirement to start workflow concurrently with multiple instances, all instances need to run in parallel. When I run an instance it is running and related param file is being picked up. But when I start another instance to run in parallel with previous instance, it is giving below Error.
"Start Workflow Advanced: ERROR: Workflow [wf_name]: Could not start execution of this workflow because the current run on this Integration Service has not completed yet."
I tried doing this using PMCMDcommand like below. It's starting without any param file and without instance name. But PMCMD log is showing the the workflow is started for the given instance successfully.
pmcmd startworkflow -sv 'INT_......' -d 'DOM_......' -u 'venkat' -p MyPass.... -f 'MyFold...' -nowait -rin $inst_name $wf_name
This is working fine in our test environment. But not working in QA. Is there a configuration setting to avoid this behavior.
Please make sure the workflow is properly configured to allow multiple executions: the Configure Concurrent Execution has to be enabled and Allow concurrent run... needs to be correctly set. If you run with same instance name, the Allow concurent run with same instance name must be chosen. Otherwise, choose the Allow concurent run only with unique instance name, add the instance name and desired parameter file to the list below.
In your command I don't see the parameterfile, so I assume the latter should be the proper setup.
The issue is resolved by restarting the integration service. We did not restart integration service to fix this issue. But that resolved this issue. When we contacted informatica support for resolution, below KB link is provided by them. https://kb.informatica.com/solution/23/Pages/59/501120.aspx

GoCD Custom Command

I am trying to run a very simple custom command "echo helloworld" in GoCD as per the Getting Started Guide Part 2 however, the job does not finish with the Console saying Waiting for console logs and raw output saying Console log for this job is unavailable as it may have been purged by Go or deleted externally.
My job looks like the following which was taken from typing "echo" in the Lookup Command (which is different to the Getting Started example which I tried first with the same result)
Judging from the screenshot, the problem seems to be that no agent is assigned to the task. For an agent to be assigned, it must satisfy all of these conditions:
An agent must be running, and connected to the server
The agent must be enabled on the "Agents" page
If you use environments, the job and the agent need to be in the same environment
The agent needs to have all of the resources assigned that are configured in the job
Found the issue.
The Pipelines have to be in the same Environment to work.

Unable to launch task from a spring cloud data flow stream

I registered my task app in Spring Cloud Data Flow, created a definition for it and the status shows 'unknown'. I created the stream and trying to launch the task through task-sink and I get an error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to resolve MavenResource:
How to launch a task from the task-sink? Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Another question I have is how do I access the payload sent via TaskLaunchRequest in my task?
S1 http | step1: transformer-rabbit | log
S2 :S1.step1 > filter --expression=payload.contains('CUSTADDRMODRQ_V15') | task-processor | task-sink
task-sink is launching the task provided by the uri in the TaskLaunchRequest. It is looking for the resource as shown in the log
OUT Using manager EnhancedLocalRepositoryManager with priority 10.0 for /home/vcap/.m2/repository
OUT Using transporter HttpTransporter with priority 5.0 for https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot and finally failing.
The task is deployed in our repository and as mentioned I registered and created the definition for it as well.
This one is in cf environment and I am using SCDF server 1.0.0.M4.
In the application.properties for the task-sink i am providing maven.remote.repositories.snapshots.url=**
task create fis-ifx-event-task --definition "fis-event-task"
My goal is launching the task from the stream.
Thanks for the information. I am in fact using the BUILD-SNAPSHOT as I am unable to enable taks in 1.0.0M4 version. Here is the one I am using spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry-1.0.0.BUILD-20160808.144306-116. I am able to register and create task definitions. The status of the task definition is showing as 'unknown' even when I am using the sample task module provided by your team. But when I initiate the flow of the stream and when task-sink tries to launch the task, it is unable to find the maven resource. When I create the task definition, does the task module gets deployed? I don't see any app in Pivotal Apps Manager. As mentioned earlier, I provided maven.remote.repositories.snapshot.url in the application.properties file for the task-sink application. Another thing I observed is when I launch the task manually from dataflow shell it gives an error CF-UnprocessableEntity(10008): The request is semantically invalid: Unknown field(s): 'staging_disk_in_mb', 'staging_memory_in_mb' and also a message saying 'Source is empty'. Presently the task is supposed to print the timestamp and is not dependent on any input.
TaskProcessor code:
#EnableBinding(Processor.class)
#EnableConfigurationProperties(TaskProcessorProperties.class)
public class TaskProcessor {
#Autowired
private TaskProcessorProperties processorProperties;
public TaskProcessor() {
}
#Transformer(inputChannel = Processor.INPUT, outputChannel = Processor.OUTPUT)
#ELI(level = "info", eventType = ELIEventType.INBOUND)
public Object setupRequest(String message) {
Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put("payload", message);
TaskLaunchRequest request = new TaskLaunchRequest(processorProperties.getUri(), null, properties, null);
return new GenericMessage<>(request);
}
}
TaskSink code:
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableTaskLauncher
#EnableBinding(Sink.class)
#EnableConfigurationProperties(TaskSinkProperties.class)
public class FisIfxEventTaskSinkApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(FisIfxEventTaskSinkApplication.class, args);
}
}
I provided the stream I am using earlier in the post. Sink is receiving the TaskLaunchRequest with uri and payload as you can see here and unable to launch the task.

Before I begin, you have a number of questions here. In the future, it's better to break them up into multiple questions so that they are easier to find by other users and easier to answer. That being said:
A little context on the current state of things
In order to understand how things will work, it's important to understand the current state of things. The current releases of the software involved are:
Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) - 1.7.12. This version is required for any task support.
Spring Cloud Task (SCT) - 1.0.2.RELEASE
Spring Cloud Data Flow CF (SCDF) - 1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT (current as of the date of this post).
Currently PCF 1.7.12+ has all the capabilities to run tasks. You can create v3 applications (the type of application used to launch a task), run it as a task, etc. However, the tooling around that functionality is not currently complete. There is no support for v3 applications in Apps Manager or the CLI. There is a plugin for the CLI that is more of a dev tool that can be used to help with some functions (it will show you logs, etc), but it is not fully functional and requires a specific version of the CLI to work [1]. This is one of the reasons that the task functionality within PCF is still considered experimental.
Spring Cloud Task is currently GA and supports all the functionality needed to effectively run tasks on CF. However, it's important to note that SCT doesn't handle orchestration so the actual launching of tasks on CF is the responsibility of either the user, or Spring Cloud Data Flow (the easier route).
Spring Cloud Data Flow's Cloud Foundry server implementation currently has functionality to launch tasks on PCF in the latest snapshots. We have validated this against 1.7.12 as well as the development branch of 1.8.
The task workflow within SCDF
Tasks are fundamentally different from stream applications within the context of SCDF. When you create a stream definition, you are given the option to deploy it. What this does is it actually downloads the Spring Boot über jars and deploys them to PCF as long running processes. If they go down, PCF, will relaunch them as expected, etc.
Tasks on the other hand, are not deployed. They are launched. The difference is that while you create a task definition, there is nothing deployed until you click launch. And when the task completes, the software is shut down and cleaned up. So while a stream definition may have states, it's really a one to one relationship between the definition and the deployed software. Where with a task, you can launch a task definition as many times as you want.
Your issues
Reading through your post, I see a few things that you are struggling with. Let me see if I can help:
Task Definitions within SCDF and launching them via a stream - When launching a task from a stream, the task registry within SCDF is not used. The sink expects the URL for the resource to be within the TaskLauchRequest.
Apps Manager and tasks - As mentioned above, there is no support for v3 applications in Apps Manager yet so you won't be able to see your tasks there.
Viewing the logs - In order to debug what's going wrong with launching your task on CF, you're going to want to view the logs. To do so, use the v3 CLI plugin mentioned above to view them. It's important to note that you can only tail live logs with the plugin, not view logs that have previously been rendered. Because of that, when testing, you'll want to tail the logs as soon as the app is created, before it's launched.
Error in SCDF Shell - The error you received from the SCDF shell (CF-UnprocessableEntity(10008):...) leads me to wonder if you have both the correct version of PCF (1.7.12+) and the correct version of the following other libraries:
spring-cloud-deployer-cloudfoundry - The latest snapshots
cf-java-client - 2.0.0.M10+
reactor-core - 3.0.0.RC1+
I hope this helps!
[1] https://github.com/cloudfoundry/v3-cli-plugin
Task support is not available in 1.0.0.M4 release of SCDF's CF-server. In this release, the task commands/REST-APIs should be disabled - see here. And for that reason, you wouldn't see any docs related to Tasks in the 1.0.0.M4 reference guide.
That said, the Task support is available/enabled in the BUILD-SNAPSHOT release. If you're locally building the CF-server and upon pushing it to CF, you could take advantage the task commands in the shell to create and launch task definitions.

AWS Lambda + Tinkerpop/Gremlin + TitanDB on EC2 + AWS DynamoDB in cloud

I am trying to execute following flow:
user hits AWS Gateway (REST),
it triggers AWS Lambda,
that uses Tinkerpop/Gremlin connects to
TitanDB on EC2, that uses
AWS DynamoDB in cloud (not on EC2) as backend.
Right now I have managed to crete fully working TitanDB instance on EC2, that stores data in DynamoDB in cloud.
I am also able to connect from AWS Lambda to EC2 through Tinkerpop/Gremlin BUT only this way:
Cluster.build()
.addContactPoint("10.x.x.x") // ip of EC2
.create()
.connect()
.submit("here I type my query as string and it will work");
And this works, however I strongly prefer to use "Criteria API" (GremlinPipeline) instead of plain Gremlin language.
In other words, I need ORM or something like that.
I know, that Tinkerpop includes it.
I have realized, that what I need is object of class Graph.
This is what I have tried:
Graph graph = TitanFactory
.build()
.set("storage.hostname", "10.x.x.x")
.set("storage.backend", "com.amazon.titan.diskstorage.dynamodb.DynamoDBStoreManager")
.set("storage.dynamodb.client.credentials.class-name", "com.amazonaws.auth.DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain")
.set("storage.dynamodb.client.credentials.constructor-args", "")
.set("storage.dynamodb.client.endpoint", "https://dynamodb.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com")
.open();
However, it throws "Could not find implementation class: com.amazon.titan.diskstorage.dynamodb.DynamoDBStoreManager".
Of course, computer is correct, as IntelliJ IDEA also cannot find it.
My dependencies:
//
// aws
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-lambda-java-core:+'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-lambda-java-events:+'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-lambda-java-log4j:+'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-dynamodb:1.10.5.1'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-ec2:+'
//
// database
// titan 1.0.0 is compatible with gremlin 3.0.2-incubating, but not yet with 3.2.0
compile 'com.thinkaurelius.titan:titan-core:1.0.0'
compile 'org.apache.tinkerpop:gremlin-core:3.0.2-incubating'
compile 'org.apache.tinkerpop:gremlin-driver:3.0.2-incubating'
What is my goal: have fully working Graph object
What is my problem: I don't have DynamoDBStoreManager class, and I do not know what dependency I have to add.
My additional question is: why connecting through Cluster class requires only IP and works, but TitanFactory requires properties like those I have used on gremlin-server on EC2?
I do not want to create second server, I just want to connect as client to it and take Graph object.
EDIT:
After adding resolver, it builds, in output I get multiple:
13689 [TitanID(0)(4)[0]] WARN com.thinkaurelius.titan.diskstorage.idmanagement.ConsistentKeyIDAuthority - Temporary storage exception while acquiring id block - retrying in PT2.4S: com.thinkaurelius.titan.diskstorage.TemporaryBackendException: Wrote claim for id block [1, 51) in PT0.342S => too slow, threshold is: PT0.3S
and execution hangs on open() method, so does not allow me to execute any queries.
For the DynamoDBStoreManager class, you would need this dependency:
compile 'com.amazonaws:dynamodb-titan100-storage-backend:1.0.0'
Then for the DynamoDBLocal issue, try adding this resolver:
resolvers += "AWS DynamoDB Local Release Repository" at "http://dynamodb-local.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/release"
I'm not entirely clear on what this means -- "Criteria API" instead of plain Gremlin language. I'm guessing that you mean that you want to interact with the graph using Java rather than passing Gremlin as a string over to a running Titan/Gremlin Server? If this is the case, then you don't need to start a Titan/Gremlin Server at all (step 4 above). Write an AWS Lambda program (step 2-3 above) that creates a direct Titan client connection via TitanFactory, where all of the Titan configuration properties are for your DynamoDB instance (step 5 above).
