A simple pedagogic project to explore provisionning aws ressources with Ansible
Start the devcontainer associated with this repository.
Then, start your lab in aws academy lms, once started go to AWS Details and copy AWS CLI credentials
Paste the content directly in credential file as follow (should reproduce this step every time you restart your lab):
First, ensure that .ssh directory exist
mkdir -p .ssh
echo "[default]
aws_access_key_id=[...]" > .aws/credentials
Be care it's .aws/credentials and not ~/.aws/credentials
To be sure all is working correctly, run this command :
aws ec2 describe-instances
You can now try to create an ec2 instance :
ansible-playbook create-start-vms.yml
Now configure your private SSH key, downloading pem from interface into .ssh/labsuser.pem
Set correct permissions as follow :
chmod 600 .ssh/labsuser.pem
You should now be able to ping the VM using :
vscode ➜ /workspaces/ansible-aws (main) $ ansible -m ping mavm
