terraform for ec2 instance with cron create and destroy

Primary LanguageHCL

STARTUP

Edit .auto.tfvars in the base directory to have the required variable slack_webhook_url as well as any others from main.tf you'd like to change.

slack_webhook_url = "https://slack_webhook_url/asdfasd/asfdasdf"

source env.sh
terraform init
terraform apply

This set of commands will:

  1. Create an environment named ec2-terra, which contains terraform and aws-cli. This script will also pull the keypair from the secrets manager so you can access the ec2 instance via ssh.
  2. Initialize Terraform resources
  3. Apply terraform changes, which will create an ec2 instance that will be started and stopped at 8am and 5pm, respectively, every week day.
  4. When the apply is done, the public ip of the created ec2 instance will be printed to the command line.

To then connect to the generated ec2 instance run:

ssh -i .secrets/ssh.pem ec2-user@${instance_ip}
