govuk-aws: Redeploying Applications on Rebuild

There may be instances where an application machine is rebuilt.

All the applications should be automatically deployed to the new machine. This is currently done by the deploy-apps userdata snippet, which triggers the relevant Deploy Jenkins to deploy all the applications for that node.

Redeploying from Jenkins CLI

The quickest way to redeploy apps is from the Jenkins CLI:

SSH to Jenkins instance
Create a text file for all apps that need to be deployed (listed below)
export JOBSLIST=<file>
for i in $(cat $JOBSLIST); do sudo jenkins-cli build -p TARGET_APPLICATION=$i -p DEPLOY_TASK=deploy -p TAG=release "Deploy_App"; done

This will trigger all the apps to redeploy. It assumes that each app will be released using the newest release tag.
