AWS EC2 Autorecover Terraform module for Rackspace customers

Primary LanguageHCLMIT LicenseMIT

aws-terraform-ec2_autorecovery

This module creates one or more autorecovery instances.

Basic Usage

module "ar" {
  source = "git@github.com:rackspace-infrastructure-automation/aws-terraform-ec2_autorecovery//?ref=v0.12.10"

  ec2_os              = "amazon"
  subnets             = module.vpc.private_subnets
  name                = "my_ar_instance"
  security_groups = [module.sg.private_web_security_group_id]
}

Full working references are available at examples Note When using an existing EBS snapshot you can not use the encryption variable. The encryption must be set at the snapshot level._

Other TF Modules Used

Using aws-terraform-cloudwatch_alarm to create the following CloudWatch Alarms:

  • status_check_failed_system_alarm_ticket
  • status_check_failed_instance_alarm_reboot
  • status_check_failed_system_alarm_recover
  • status_check_failed_instance_alarm_ticket
  • cpu_alarm_high

Terraform 0.12 upgrade

Several changes were required while adding terraform 0.12 compatibility. The following changes should
made when upgrading from a previous release to version 0.12.0 or higher.

Module variables

The following module variables were updated to better meet current Rackspace style guides:

  • security_group_list -> security_groups
  • resource_name -> name
  • additional_tags -> tags

The following variables are no longer neccessary and were removed

  • additional_ssm_bootstrap_step_count
  • install_scaleft_agent

New variable ssm_bootstrap_list was added to allow setting the SSM association steps using objects instead of strings, allowing easier linting and formatting of these lines. The additional_ssm_bootstrap_list variable will continue to work, but will be deprecated in a future release.
