Make AMI Name retrieval automatic #266
Description
JIRA: https://lf-pytorch.atlassian.net/browse/PC-31
Today, we tell users which AMI their job is running on by hard coding the list of known AMI IDs to AMI names. This of course will break every time the AMI is updated.
Instead, there's a command that can pull the AMI name from AWS, but it requires certain permissions to be set. Here's the command an the error it gets today:
[root@ip-10-0-19-56 runner-scripts]# AMI_ID="ami-0ce0c36d7a00b20e2"
[root@ip-10-0-19-56 runner-scripts]# AMI_NAME=$(aws ec2 describe-images --image-ids $AMI_ID --query 'Images[0].Name' --output text)
An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the DescribeImages operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation. User: arn:aws:sts::308535385114:assumed-role/gh-ci-github-action-runners-runner-role/i-076101f9e5b2c54e3 is not authorized to perform: ec2:DescribeImages because no identity-based policy allows the ec2:DescribeImages action
The ask:
- Grant runners the permission needed to invoke the above command
- Modify the setup script to actually use the above command
