This is a Terraform script that automatically builds an Amazon Linux 2 Server in AWS EC2. It also installs various programs through a EC2 user data shell script. The various programs are: -Armor Agent 3.0 -Chrome -Apache2 -User + Password for Remote Desktop
Change the ARMOR License Key in the install_userdata_amazonix.sh file.
Rename variables.example to variables.tf, in the same directory as the main.tf file.
The variables in variables.tf must be modified to contain your specific settings.
Once the Machine is running in AWS EC2... you will see the username and password credentials in the /rdpcreds.txt file. This user has sudo privileges so !!**** please change your password for this user, the ubuntu user and also the root user ****!!
SSH into the machine using the Public DNS (IPv4) address in the EC2 console, for the instance, and your private key. ssh -i ~/.ssh/(key file).pem ec2-user@ec2-X-X-X-X.compute-1.amazonaws.com
If you want to remote desktop into the machine you will need to install amazon linux desktop. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-linux-2-install-gui/ In that case you will need a machine bigger than t2.micro. You can remote desktop in using the Public DNS (IPv4) address in the EC2 console, for the instance. You will need to download an RDP client.
To tail the Ec2 user data installation log: sudo tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
If the Armor Agent installed correctly, you should see the /opt/armor directory.
If Apache installs correctly, you should be able to curl localhost.
To grep for processes, ps aux | grep armor
