Basic Operations
edit- Start a AWS EC2 machine:
We will use ansible EC2 module[1]. Create a new file, for example aws_start_machine.yml
. Put your instance_ids and region values, (execute aws ec2 describe-instances
to obtain them or aws ec2 describe-instances | grep InstanceId
to obtain only InstanceIds) and execute your newly created script,
chmod +x aws_start_machine.yml; ./aws_start_machine.yml
Example. Start and already created EC2 instance. aws_start_ec2server.yml
file:
- (Remember just to use spaces and not tabulator for your YML file)
#!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook - name: Starting AWS machine hosts: localhost gather_facts: false connection: local vars: instance_ids: - 'i-09999999999' # you will have to modify this line with the InstanceId of your server region: us-east-2 # you will have to change this line to region where your machine was created tasks: - name: Starting AWS Machine. It Will take some time. ec2: instance_ids: '{{ instance_ids }}' region: '{{ region }}' state: running wait: True
Getting information from a AWS machine:
Example aws_status_ec2server.yml
file:
#!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook - name: Status ec2 instance hosts: localhost connection: local tasks: - ec2_instance_facts: instance_ids: - i-0bd3xx999999999 register: ec2_facts - debug: msg="{{ ec2_facts }}"
