    1515There are additional features and quite possibly more to come, but the focus is on orchestrating between AWS and Chef inclusive of managing ec2 instances based on environment or role.
     
    205205The {{{crud_view}}}, {{{crud_new}}}, {{{crud_edit}}}, and {{{grid_columns}}} options are lists of field names in the order to be displayed in their respective views. "crud" stands for "create, read, update, delete". An asterisk ({{{*}}}) appended to a field name (only applicable for {{{crud_new}}} and {{{crud_edit}}}) indicates that the field should be read-only in that view. All fields in the {{{crud_new}}} and {{{crud_edit}}} views will be used to set or update the chef resource item.

    209209The {{{grid_sort}}} and {{{grid_asc}}} are for default sorting in the grid view.
     
    244244Actions such as launching or bootstrapping an ec2 instance or deploying code to an environment can take a variably long time - usually longer than the default Apache timeouts (e.g., {{{FcgidIOTimeout}}}). Instead of wrestling with Apache timeout configurations, this plugin executes each of these actions in a separate, spawned process (an orphaned daemon) that survives Apache timeouts and restarts. Surviving Apache restarts is also helpful when Trac itself is chef-managed and may be restarted by the {{{chef-client}}} upon config changes. Creating a new ec2 instance, executing remote commands, etc. now brings up a new 'Progress' page that tracks the spawned process' progress:

    247247
    248248For launching ec2 instances, as the instance id and public DNS become known, they're presented. The progress view is also used for other (potentially) long-lived actions such as deployments and audits where the list of nodes is shown with the same progress icons and time durations.
