Create AWS EC2 Linux or Windows Servers

Build Status License

This module creates Linux or Windows EC2 instances.

Features

Linux/Windows Server

  • Optionally set an Elastic IP (EIP)
  • Specify an IAM role
  • Assign security groups
  • Optionally join a domain using SSM documents (see notes below)
  • Attach 1 or more additional EBS volumes

Instance Meta Data Service Support

  • Support metadata IMDSv1 and IMDSv2
  • For better security the default is IMDSv2. Using IMDSv1 will show up as "High" in SecurityHub

User Data

  • Specify optional user data scripts

Custom User Data

Add your own server specifc user data scripts (see full example below) that will be executed after the disk intialisation. To debug the scripts see the following folder on the running instance: C:\ProgramData\Amazon\EC2-Windows\Launch\Log

Domain Joining

In order to join a domain as part of provisioning an Active Directory and SSM document must be in place already.
When using AWS AD sharing a default SSM document will be created that can be used.

Block Device mapping

This module follows the AWS conventions where by \dev\sda1 is defined as the root device and all other ebs volumes use the recommended names xvd[f-z] * When creating addtional ebs volumes you can specify any variables as described in the Terraform docs: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/instance.html#block-devices

For Windows you can specify the following drive properties as well:

  • volume_letter
  • volume_name

For example:

 ebs_block_device = [
            {
              volume_letter         = "E"
              volume_name           = "Data"
              device_name           = "xvdg"
              volume_type           = "gp2"
              volume_size           = 20
              delete_on_termination = true
            }
  ]

Usage
