Cloud - AWS only for now - API integration for IPAM

What follows is a simple approach to using AWS API calls to get the full list of: VPCs and Subnets, and update them to Supernets and Subnets under a folder in IPAM.

Why do this?  For more efficient management of IP addresses in cloud.  No scanning subnets required.  Accounts can remain entirely seperate from your corporate network - and still be managed.

Tag and other AWS information is populated into custom fields, and used to set subnet parent objects in the tree.  API calls are used for Solarwinds where available, and direct SQL commands are used where they are not.

This work has not been completed.  TODO:

  1. code to delete subnets and VPCs that no longer exist
  2. Subnets - the code will be very similar to the VPCs function.  I have copied the VPC code to get started
  3. IP addresses
  4. change code to query to get the list of accounts accessible by IAM roles.   Currently an array is set with the ARNs for each IAM role, to get the code to run.
  5. set hostname, etc, as with the objects all set to manual, this also needs to be done manually

Requirements

  1. Solarwinds powershell lib
  2. AWSPowershell.NetCode lib
  3. MS SQL Server powershell lib
  4. AWS account 
  5. IAM roles for each account with access to read network properties, and list of ARNs for these.
  6.  A folder in IPAM to store all this in.
  7. The following custom properties for IPAM groups:
    1. aws_cloudformation_logical_id
    2. aws_cloudformation_stack_id
    3. aws_cloudformation_stack_name
