Terraform Examples

These are the missing Terraform AWS Windows examples. Other Terraform examples can be found here: https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules.

AWS Windows

aws-asg-chef

Shows how to use user_data to provision an ASG server instance with Chef.

The user_data script does the following:

  • downloads and install chef-client
  • downloads s3://mybucket/chef-validator.pem and s3://mybucket/encrypted_data_bag_secret
  • applies provisioning tag to instance
  • runs chef-client with provided runlist and environment && if successful will apply tags (Note that Name tag and Chef node/client names will be name appended with the instance id e.g. example-i-a1b2c3d4)
  • removes provisioning tag

Note that IAM must be setup to allow access to Chef server and s3. This example also expects Chef's chef-validator and encrypted_data_bag_secret to be downloadable from an S3 bucket. Be sure to change s3 paths accordingly.
