EC2 Volume Repair Automation

Overview

This Python script automates the process of detaching disk volumes from impacted EC2 instances, taking snapshots of the volumes, attaching the volumes to new instances for repairs, and then reattaching them to the original instances. It is designed to streamline the recovery process in cloud-based environments, especially for AWS EC2 instances.

Features

• Detach volumes from EC2 instances.
• Create snapshots of the detached volumes.
• Attach the volumes to new EC2 instances.
• Perform necessary repairs on the new instances.
• Reattach the volumes to the original EC2 instances.

Prerequisites

• AWS account with EC2 and IAM permissions.
• Python 3.x installed on your local machine.
• boto3 library installed.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/infosecsingh/Volume-Repair-CrowdStrike.git
   cd Volume-Repair-CrowdStrike

Install Dependencies

Make sure you have boto3 installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install boto3

Configure AWS Credentials

Ensure your AWS credentials are configured. You can use the AWS CLI to configure them:

aws configure

Alternatively, you can set environment variables for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN.

Configuration

Edit the script to set your specific parameters. Modify the instances_volumes list with your specific instances and volumes:

instances_volumes = [
    {
        "instance_id": "i-xxxxxxxx",
        "volume_id": "vol-xxxxxxxx",
        "new_instance_id": "i-yyyyyyyy",
        "device": "/dev/sdh"
    },
    # Add more instances and volumes as needed
]

Usage

Run the script from the command line:

python volume_repair_automation.py

Ensure you have modified the script to include your specific volume IDs and instance IDs before running it.

Example

Here’s an example of how you might modify the instances_volumes list:

instances_volumes = [
    {
        "instance_id": "i-1234567890abcdef0",
        "volume_id": "vol-1234567890abcdef0",
        "new_instance_id": "i-0987654321fedcba0",
        "device": "/dev/sdh"
    },
    {
        "instance_id": "i-abcdef1234567890",
        "volume_id": "vol-fedcba0987654321",
        "new_instance_id": "i-1234fedcba567890",
        "device": "/dev/sdh"
    }
]

Error Handling

The script includes basic error handling. Errors will be logged to the console. Make sure to review the logs to address any issues that arise.

Automation

For automation, consider integrating the script with AWS Lambda, Systems Manager, or CI/CD pipelines as described in the Automation section of this README.
