Easy Terraform AWS EC2 Instance

Quick Terraform EC2 Instance

• Create an EC2 instance (Latest Amazon Linux 2) in AWS in a chosen VPC and subnet (run bash script to populate locals!)
• Create a security group, role, instance profile, etc.

NOTE - STATE IS STORED LOCALLY

Steps

1. Prepare the necesary subnet locals using the script
   • get_vpc_and_subnet.sh
     • NOTE: this script is used to generate the vpc_subnet.tf file
   • Filter subnets by name with the first argument
     • e.g. ./get_vpc_and_subnet.sh private
2. Run tfinit, tfplan, tfapply, etc as usual

Instance State

Three scripts available to control the instance's state:

1. ./instance_start - Start the instance
2. ./instance_stop - Stop the instance
3. ./instance_state - Check the current state of the instance

Cleanup

1. Run ./cleanup.sh to initiate cleanup.
2. It will first destroy the TF resources (after confirmation), after which it will delete local generated config and all .terraform* files (after another confirmation)
