Example of terraform-aws-nat-instance

This example shows the following things:

Create a VPC and subnets using vpc module.
Create a NAT instance using this module.
Create an instance in the private subnet.
Add custom scripts to the NAT instance. In this example, http port of the private instance will be exposed.

Provision the stack.

% terraform init
% terraform apply
...

Outputs:

nat_public_ip = 54.212.155.23
private_instance_id = i-07c076946c5142cdd

Make sure you have access to the instance in the private subnet.

% aws ssm start-session --region us-west-2 --target i-07c076946c5142cdd

Make sure you can access http port of the NAT instance.

% curl http://54.212.155.23

You can completely destroy the stack.

% terraform destroy
