As root, run as aws_identity. The Greengrass service should NOT be running.
DESCRIPTION
The aws_identity script allows the user to change the identity of an already configured greengrass install, in our use case it is to change the greengrass identity of a device which was setup using a cloned base image without having to reinstall the greengrass software
The script could also be used to setup a "blank" greengrass install, which does not already have an identity, but does already have the greengrass software.
- If no group name is provided, the host name will be read from the device to generate it.
- If no core name is provided, the host name will be read from the device to generate it.
- If the set flag is not provided, the current identity will be read from the persistent file.
