Attini Framework

Version 1.7.0

Date: 14 March 2023

Version 1.6.3

Date: 6 March 2023

  • Fixed misleading error message when starting/stopping ECS tasks.
  • Fixed a bug when the Attini runner would cold start twice during the first deployment of a distribution.

Version 1.6.2

Date: 2 March 2023

  • Updated the default runner image to include the latest Attini CLI.
  • The AttiniCdk step will now use the --all option for the deploy command unless stacks are specified.
  • SQS message retention is now set to 12 hours instead of the default 4 days.
  • Attini actions minimum access policy has been given the ecs:StopTask permission.

Version 1.6.1

Date: 20 February 2023

  • Added RoleArn to the AttiniCdk step.
  • The runner will print the CloudWatch log url if the startup commands fail.
  • Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the runner to cold start even if the configuration has not changed.

Version 1.6.0

Date: 17 February 2023

  • AttiniCdk Step was added.

  • Changed the configuration of the default runner to:

    • Use ECS cluster "attini-default".
    • "IdleTimeToLive" is now 1 hour.
    • It now has 3 GB memory.
    • It now has 0.5 CPUs.

  • "GiveAdminAccess" parameter was added to the Attini setup as a replacement for the deprecated "UseAdministratorAccessForDeployingCloudformation" parameter.

    Note

    If you have onboarded the Attini framework with the configuration UseAdministratorAccessForDeployingCloudformation=true, you need to set GiveAdminAccess=true next time you update the framework.

    This is easily done with the command attini setup --give-admin-access.
