By using AWS CLI, I am trying to create a clone of my OpsWorks stack at a specified DateTime.
In order to do so, I made sure I have the following :
- Hourly snapshots of my running EBS Backed OpsWorks instances.
- Point-In-Time RDS snapshots of my Databases
Everything RDS-related is working just fine, but I cannot seem to be able to attach an EC2 instance properly in OpsWorks.
At first, I tried to create an AMI from my snapshot, run it as an EC2 instance and then register it into my stack, which produced the following error :
[Thu, 12 Mar 2015 11:48:14 +0000] opsworks-init: Starting the installer Building native extensions. This could take a while... /tmp/opsworks-agent-installer.APUKk5gzWGKpIB4l/opsworks-agent-installer/opsworks-agent/lib/bootstrap/installer.rb:74:in

[Thu, 12 Mar 2015 11:50:08 +0000] opsworks-init: Please verify the log files found under /var/log/aws/opsworks and submit findings to AWS Support.
My second attempt was to create a volume with my snapshot and then replace the root device of my EC2 instance with it. It resulted in this :
A client error (IncorrectState) occurred when calling the DetachVolume operation: Unable to detach root volume [...]
Then, I thought I would test attaching a freshly created EC2 Instance using Amazon's Ubuntu LTS 14.04 AMI, which was not successful either :

It seems like I run into some problems when attempting to install the OpsWorks agents on the machine.
What is the best way to register a clone of a running EBS Backed Opsworks stack in a completely new stack by using AWS CLI ?
Thank you !
