You should be able to type terraform output from the /provision directory the list these outputs:

xnat-aws/provision/outputs.tf

Lines 1 to 9 in a9ac92e

	output "ansible_install_xnat" {
	description = "Run this command from the `xnat-aws/configure` directory to install and configure XNAT."
	value = "./install_xnat.sh"
	}
	output "xnat_web_url" {
	description = "Once XNAT has been installed and configured, the web server will be accessible at this URL."
	value = "http://${module.web_server.xnat_web_hostname}"
	}

We could add more output if there's something missing here?

Ooooh nice, the context is that to SSH into an Instance you need to know the Public IP address which changes so would be nice to avoid the AWS console and use terraform output

Ah yeah that would be a good output to add. It is written to the Ansible host file:

xnat-aws/provision/templates/ansible_hosts.yml.tftpl

Line 7 in add8442

ansible_ip: ${xnat_web_public_ip}

but it would be nice to have it in the outputs too
