Terraform module which creates Auto Scaling resources on AWS.
Available features
- Autoscaling group with launch configuration - either created by the module or utilizing an existing launch configuration
- Autoscaling group with launch template - either created by the module or utilizing an existing launch template
- Autoscaling group utilizing mixed instances policy
- Ability to configure autoscaling groups to set instance refresh configuration and add lifecycle hooks

The following combinations are supported to conditionally create resources and/or use externally created resources within the module:
- Disable resource creation (no resources created):
create_asg = false
- Create only a launch configuration:
create_asg = false
create_lc = true
- Create only a launch template:
create_asg = false
create_lt = true
- Create both the autoscaling group and launch configuration:
use_lc = true
create_lc = true
- Create both the autoscaling group and launch template:
use_lt = true
create_lt = true
- Create the autoscaling group using an externally created launch configuration:
use_lc = true
launch_configuration = aws_launch_configuration.my_launch_config.name
- Create the autoscaling group using an externally created launch template:
use_lt = true
launch_template = aws_launch_template.my_launch_template.name
There are two ways to specify tags for auto-scaling group in this module - tags
and tags_as_map
.
tags = [
{
key = "Project"
value = "megasecret"
propagate_at_launch = true
},
{
key = "foo"
value = ""
propagate_at_launch = true
},
]
tags_as_map = {
Owner = "user"
Environment = "dev"
}
