ec2_instance terraform module

This module is deprecated and terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-ec2-instance module published on the Terraform registry should be used instead.

This repository will not have active support any more.

---

A terraform module for making ec2 instances.

• Assumes you're making your instances in a VPC.
• Does not do any block device configuration (yet)

Module Input Variables

• ami_id - The AMI to use
• number_of_instances - The number of instances you want made
• subnet_id - The VPC subnet to place the instance in
• instance_type - The EC2 instance type, e.g. m1.small
• instance_name - The instance name you want, this is used to populate the Name tag.
• user_data - The path to the user_data file. Terraform will include the contents of this file while launching the instance
• tags - A map for setting AWS tags.

Usage

You can use this in your terraform template with the following steps.

1. Adding a module resource to your template, e.g. main.tf

module "ec2_instance" {
  source = "github.com/terraform-community-modules/tf_aws_ec2_instance"
  instance_type = "${var.instance_type}"
  instance_name = "${var.instance_name}"
  ami_id = "${var.ami_id}"
  aws_access_key = "${var.aws_access_key}"
  aws_secret_key = "${var.aws_secret_key}"
  aws_region = "${var.aws_region}"
  subnet_id = "${var.subnet_id}"
  number_of_instances = "${var.number_of_instances}"
  user_data = "${var.user_data}"
}

2. Setting values for the following variables, either through terraform.tfvars or -var arguments on the CLI

• aws_access_key
• aws_secret_key
• aws_region
• instance_name
• instance_type
• subnet_id
• ami_id
