aws_opsworks_instance

Provides an OpsWorks instance resource.

Example Usage

resource "aws_opsworks_instance" "my-instance" {
  stack_id = "${aws_opsworks_stack.main.id}"

  layer_ids = [
    "${aws_opsworks_custom_layer.my-layer.id}",
  ]

  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  os            = "Amazon Linux 2015.09"
  state         = "stopped"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• instance_type - (Required) The type of instance to start
• stack_id - (Required) The id of the stack the instance will belong to.
• layer_ids - (Required) The ids of the layers the instance will belong to.
• state - (Optional) The desired state of the instance. Can be either "running" or "stopped".
• install_updates_on_boot - (Optional) Controls where to install OS and package updates when the instance boots. Defaults to true.
• auto_scaling_type - (Optional) Creates load-based or time-based instances. If set, can be either: "load" or "timer".
• availability_zone - (Optional) Name of the availability zone where instances will be created by default.
• ebs_optimized - (Optional) If true, the launched EC2 instance will be EBS-optimized.
• hostname - (Optional) The instance's host name.
• architecture - (Optional) Machine architecture for created instances. Can be either "x86_64" (the default) or "i386"
• ami_id - (Optional) The AMI to use for the instance. If an AMI is specified, os must be "Custom".
• os - (Optional) Name of operating system that will be installed.
• root_device_type - (Optional) Name of the type of root device instances will have by default. Can be either "ebs" or "instance-store"
• ssh_key_name - (Optional) Name of the SSH keypair that instances will have by default.
• agent_version - (Optional) The AWS OpsWorks agent to install. Defaults to "INHERIT".
• subnet_id - (Optional) Subnet ID to attach to
• tenancy - (Optional) Instance tenancy to use. Can be one of "default", "dedicated" or "host"
• virtualization_type - (Optional) Keyword to choose what virtualization mode created instances will use. Can be either "paravirtual" or "hvm".
• root_block_device - (Optional) Customize details about the root block device of the instance. See Block Devices below for details.
• ebs_block_device - (Optional) Additional EBS block devices to attach to the instance. See Block Devices below for details.
• ephemeral_block_device - (Optional) Customize Ephemeral (also known as "Instance Store") volumes on the instance. See Block Devices below for details.

Block devices

Each of the *_block_device attributes controls a portion of the AWS Instance's "Block Device Mapping". It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with AWS's Block Device Mapping docs to understand the implications of using these attributes.

The root_block_device mapping supports the following:

• volume_type - (Optional) The type of volume. Can be "standard", "gp2", or "io1". (Default: "standard").
• volume_size - (Optional) The size of the volume in gigabytes.
• iops - (Optional) The amount of provisioned IOPS. This must be set with a volume_type of "io1".
• delete_on_termination - (Optional) Whether the volume should be destroyed on instance termination (Default: true).

Modifying any of the root_block_device settings requires resource replacement.

Each ebs_block_device supports the following:

• device_name - The name of the device to mount.
• snapshot_id - (Optional) The Snapshot ID to mount.
• volume_type - (Optional) The type of volume. Can be "standard", "gp2", or "io1". (Default: "standard").
• volume_size - (Optional) The size of the volume in gigabytes.
• iops - (Optional) The amount of provisioned IOPS. This must be set with a volume_type of "io1".
• delete_on_termination - (Optional) Whether the volume should be destroyed on instance termination (Default: true).

Modifying any ebs_block_device currently requires resource replacement.

Each ephemeral_block_device supports the following:

• device_name - The name of the block device to mount on the instance.
• virtual_name - The Instance Store Device Name (e.g. "ephemeral0")

Each AWS Instance type has a different set of Instance Store block devices available for attachment. AWS publishes a list of which ephemeral devices are available on each type. The devices are always identified by the virtual_name in the format "ephemeral{0..N}".

NOTE: Currently, changes to *_block_device configuration of existing resources cannot be automatically detected by Terraform. After making updates to block device configuration, resource recreation can be manually triggered by using the taint command.

Attributes Reference

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

• id - The id of the OpsWorks instance.
• agent_version - The AWS OpsWorks agent version.
• availability_zone - The availability zone of the instance.
• ec2_instance_id - EC2 instance ID
• ssh_key_name - The key name of the instance
• public_dns - The public DNS name assigned to the instance. For EC2-VPC, this is only available if you've enabled DNS hostnames for your VPC
• public_ip - The public IP address assigned to the instance, if applicable.
• private_dns - The private DNS name assigned to the instance. Can only be used inside the Amazon EC2, and only available if you've enabled DNS hostnames for your VPC
• private_ip - The private IP address assigned to the instance
• subnet_id - The VPC subnet ID.
• tenancy - The Instance tenancy
• security_group_ids - The associated security groups.

Timeouts

aws_opsworks_instance provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

• create - (Default 10 minutes) Used when the instance is created. It should cover the time needed for the instance to start successfully.
• delete - (Default 10 minutes) Used when the instance is deleted. It should cover the time needed for the instance to stop successfully.
• update - (Default 10 minutes) Used when the instance is changed. It should cover the time needed to either start or stop the instance.

Import

Opsworks Instances can be imported using the instance id, e.g.

$ terraform import aws_opsworks_instance.my_instance 4d6d1710-ded9-42a1-b08e-b043ad7af1e2
