terraform-aws-ec2-instance

Terraform Module for providing a general purpose EC2 host.

Included features:

Automatically create a Security Group
Option to switch EIP attachment
CloudWatch monitoring and automatic reboot if instance hangs
Assume Role capability

Usage

Note: add ${var.ssh_key_pair} private key to the ssh agent.

Include this repository as a module in your existing terraform code.

Simple example:

module "instance" {
  source                      = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ec2-instance.git?ref=master"
  ssh_key_pair                = "${var.ssh_key_pair}"
  instance_type               = "${var.instance_type}"
  vpc_id                      = "${var.vpc_id}"
  security_groups             = ["${var.security_groups}"]
  subnet                      = "${var.subnet}"
  name                        = "${var.name}"
  namespace                   = "${var.namespace}"
  stage                       = "${var.stage}"
}

Example with additional volumes and EIP

module "kafka_instance" {
  source                      = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ec2-instance.git?ref=master"
  ssh_key_pair                = "${var.ssh_key_pair}"
  vpc_id                      = "${var.vpc_id}"
  security_groups             = ["${var.security_groups}"]
  subnet                      = "${var.subnet}"
  associate_public_ip_address = "true"
  name                        = "kafka"
  namespace                   = "cp"
  stage                       = "dev"
  additional_ips_count        = "1"
  ebs_volume_count            = "2"
  allowed_ports               = ["22", "80", "443"]
}

This module depends on these modules:

terraform-null-label

It is necessary to run terraform get to download those modules.

Now reference the label when creating an instance (for example):

resource "aws_ami_from_instance" "example" {
  name               = "terraform-example"
  source_instance_id = "${module.admin_tier.id}"
}
