kitchen.CI and amazonlinux

Have you ever wondered how to run a kitchen.ci test against an amazonlinux image?

Wonder no more. This is an example .kitchen.yml that might help you.

---
driver:
  name: docker

platforms:
  - name: amazonlinux
    driver_config:
      platform: centos
      image: amazonlinux:latest                            # This will pull the latest amazonlinux image from dockerHub
      provision_command:                                   # Amazonlinux obviously needs to have ansible to run an ansible task
        - "yum -y install epel-release"
        - "yum --enablerepo=epel -y install ansible"

provisioner:
  name: ansible_playbook
  ansible_verbose: true
  ansible_verbosity: 2
  ansible_diff: true
  hosts: test-kitchen

suites:
  - name: default

And that is all. It is as easy as that.

Happy testing!
