Usage

module "ec2_cluster" {
  source                 = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"
  version                = "~> 2.0"

  name                   = "my-cluster"
  instance_count         = 5

  ami                    = "ami-ebd02392"
  instance_type          = "t2.micro"
  key_name               = "user1"
  monitoring             = true
  vpc_security_group_ids = ["sg-12345678"]
  subnet_id              = "subnet-eddcdzz4"

  tags = {
    Terraform   = "true"
    Environment = "dev"
  }
}

Examples

• Basic EC2 instance
• EC2 instance with EBS volume attachment

Make an encrypted AMI for use

This module does not support encrypted AMI's out of the box however it is easy enough for you to generate one for use

This example creates an encrypted image from the latest ubuntu 16.04 base image.

resource "aws_ami_copy" "ubuntu-xenial-encrypted-ami" {
  name              = "ubuntu-xenial-encrypted-ami"
  description       = "An encrypted root ami based off ${data.aws_ami.ubuntu-xenial.id}"
  source_ami_id     = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu-xenial.id}"
  source_ami_region = "eu-west-2"
  encrypted         = "true"

  tags {
    Name = "ubuntu-xenial-encrypted-ami"
  }
}

data "aws_ami" "encrypted-ami" {
  most_recent = true

  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = ["ubuntu-xenial-encrypted"]
  }

  owners = ["self"]
}

data "aws_ami" "ubuntu-xenial" {
  most_recent = true

  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = ["ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-*"]
  }

  owners      = ["099720109477"]
}

Notes

• network_interface can't be specified together with vpc_security_group_ids, associate_public_ip_address, subnet_id. See basic example for details.
• Changes in ebs_block_device argument will be ignored. Use aws_volume_attachment resource to attach and detach volumes from AWS EC2 instances. See this example.
• One of subnet_id or subnet_ids is required. If both are provided, the value of subnet_id is prepended to the value of subnet_ids.

ebs_optimized	If true, the launched EC2 instance will be EBS-optimized	bool	false	no
ephemeral_block_device	Customize Ephemeral (also known as Instance Store) volumes on the instance	list(map(string))	[]	no
get_password_data	If true, wait for password data to become available and retrieve it.	bool	false	no
iam_instance_profile	The IAM Instance Profile to launch the instance with. Specified as the name of the Instance Profile.	string	""	no
instance_count	Number of instances to launch	number	1	no
instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior	Shutdown behavior for the instance	string	""	no
instance_type	The type of instance to start	string	n/a	yes
ipv6_address_count	A number of IPv6 addresses to associate with the primary network interface. Amazon EC2 chooses the IPv6 addresses from the range of your subnet.	number	null	no
