Summary
This article provides guidance on obtaining a list of valid instance types for the instanceType parameter used in the elasticConfiguration POST API call in Bamboo. This can be useful when using the REST API endpoint to create/manage elastic image configurations.
Environment
The solution has been validated in Bamboo 9.2.17 but may be applicable to other versions.
Solution
The valid instanceType values are directly linked to the AWS EC2 API endpoint that Bamboo interacts with.
Please refer to the AWS EC2 InstanceType documentation for a comprehensive list.
To understand what values are available for a given Bamboo version, you can also use a method through the User Interface:
- Navigate to Bamboo Configuration > Elastic Instances > Image Configuration.
- Right-click on the page and select Inspect to open the Developer Tools on Google Chrome. For different browsers, the steps may differ – please refer to your browser's official documentation.
- Search for "M3Medium" or similar instance types.
- The full list of instance types will be available within the instanceTypes element, showing both the keyword and full description. For example,
_M512xlarge <-> M5 General Purpose 12X Large_ - You can use the values from that list on your REST API call to the
elasticConfigurationendpoint when creating/managing elastic image configurations.
