AWS EC2 Instance Terraform module

Terraform module which creates an EC2 instance on AWS.

Usage

Single EC2 Instance

module "ec2_instance" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"
  version = "~> 3.0"

  name = "single-instance"

  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"
  }
}

Multiple EC2 Instance

module "ec2_instance" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"
  version = "~> 3.0"

  for_each = toset(["one", "two", "three"])

  name = "instance-${each.key}"

  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"
  }
}

Spot EC2 Instance

module "ec2_instance" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"
  version = "~> 3.0"

  name = "spot-instance"

  create_spot_instance = true
  spot_price           = "0.60"
  spot_type            = "persistent"

  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

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.

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" {
  most_recent = true
  owners      = ["679593333241"]

  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = ["ubuntu-minimal/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-*"]
  }

  filter {
    name   = "virtualization-type"
    values = ["hvm"]
  }
}

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

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

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

  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = [aws_ami_copy.ubuntu_encrypted_ami.id]
  }

  owners = ["self"]
}

Conditional creation

The following combinations are supported to conditionally create resources:

  • Disable resource creation (no resources created):
  create = false
  • Create spot instance:
  create_spot_instance = true

Notes

  • network_interface can't be specified together with vpc_security_group_ids, associate_public_ip_address, subnet_id. See complete 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.
  • In regards to spot instances, you must grant the AWSServiceRoleForEC2Spot service-linked role access to any custom KMS keys, otherwise your spot request and instances will fail with bad parameters. You can see more details about why the request failed by using the awscli and aws ec2 describe-spot-instance-requests
