URI Options

The AWS 2 EC2 component supports 11 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
accessKey (producer)	Amazon AWS Access Key		String
amazonEc2Client (producer)	To use a existing configured AmazonEC2Client as client		Ec2Client
configuration (producer)	The component configuration		AWS2EC2Configuration
lazyStartProducer (producer)	Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.	false	boolean
operation (producer)	Required The operation to perform. It can be createAndRunInstances, startInstances, stopInstances, terminateInstances, describeInstances, describeInstancesStatus, rebootInstances, monitorInstances, unmonitorInstances, createTags or deleteTags. The value can be one of: createAndRunInstances, startInstances, stopInstances, terminateInstances, describeInstances, describeInstancesStatus, rebootInstances, monitorInstances, unmonitorInstances, createTags, deleteTags		AWS2EC2Operations
proxyHost (producer)	To define a proxy host when instantiating the EC2 client		String
proxyPort (producer)	To define a proxy port when instantiating the EC2 client		Integer
proxyProtocol (producer)	To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the EC2 client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS	HTTPS	Protocol
region (producer)	The region in which EC2 client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()		String
secretKey (producer)	Amazon AWS Secret Key		String
basicPropertyBinding (advanced)	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	boolean

Producer Examples

createAndRunInstances: this operation will create an EC2 instance and run it

from("direct:createAndRun")
     .setHeader(EC2Constants.IMAGE_ID, constant("ami-fd65ba94"))
     .setHeader(EC2Constants.INSTANCE_TYPE, constant(InstanceType.T2Micro))
     .setHeader(EC2Constants.INSTANCE_MIN_COUNT, constant("1"))
     .setHeader(EC2Constants.INSTANCE_MAX_COUNT, constant("1"))
     .to("aws2-ec2://TestDomain?accessKey=xxxx&secretKey=xxxx&operation=createAndRunInstances");

Automatic detection of Ec2Client client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an Ec2Client bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-ec2</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws2-ec2 with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-ec2-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
