Hello,
I’m experimenting with CloudFormation templates and have hit a bit of a snag.
There doesn’t seem to be a way for me to pass parameters from the template to the Wowza EC2 instance. With other AMIs, the user-data can be a bash script, but it would appear that Wowza expects a base64 zip file and nothing else.
I also considered using tags, but apparently Amazon doesn’t provide access to tags from the instance meta-data url. I would have to store authentication info on the server to access them through the API.
Ideally I wouldn’t have to hard code values in the startup package and could read them from the template instead. Any ideas?
Thanks!
