RightScripts

RightScripts consist of changes that can be run on a server.  There are three types of RightScripts.

• Boot Scripts - RightScripts that are run during a server's boot time.
• Operational Scripts - RightScripts that are run during a server's run time.
• Decomission Scripts - RightScripts that are run during a server's decommissioning phase when a server is terminated.  See Decommission Scripts.

A RightScript consists of the following components:

• A script (typically written in Bash, Ruby, or Perl)
• A set of attachments that are downloaded from S3.
• A set of packages that are installed using the system's package manager (yum in the case of Red Hat-based systems).
• A set of input parameters that must be passed into the script.

In order to use RightScripts on a server, a ServerTemplate must be created, the RightScript(s) must be attached to the template, inputs must be provided, and lastly a server must be launched from the template.
