Allow AWS EC2 Cloud Provider To Specify Salt Minion Repo Version #54857
Description
Description of Issue
This is a feature request. Currently 2019.2.1 has released and broken my workflow. And I have no timeline or understanding when the issue will be fixed. This request is to take more control of the bootstrap process for new nodes using saltstack.
Setup
Salt Stack allows you to specify an AWS EC2 cloud provider. See, https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/cloud/aws.html for setup.
Steps to Reproduce Issue
When spinning up new (Linux CentOS and Linux 2 AMI) EC2 instances with a saltstack EC2 cloud provider, then the EC2 instances bootstrap to the latest salt stack repository
> sudo cat /etc/yum.repos.d/saltstack.repo
[saltstack]
name=SaltStack latest Release Channel for RHEL/CentOS $releasever
baseurl=https://repo.saltstack.com/yum/redhat/7/$basearch/latest/
This feature request is asking for a way to pin to earlier releases as a parameter in the cloud provider. Such a parameter would point to one of the older locations; eg:
Where the new parameter is 2018.3, the repo would point here;
baseurl=https://repo.saltstack.com/yum/redhat/7/$basearch/2018.3/
