Alicloud ECS Instance Terraform Module In VPC terraform-alicloud-ecs-instance

A terraform module to provide ECS instances in Alicloud VPC. Its input variables contains VSwitch, Security Group, ECS Disks and ECS Instances.

It assumes you have one VPC and VSwitch and you want to put the new instances to the VPC. If not, you can launch a new one by module terraform-alicloud-vpc
It assumes you have several security groups in the VPC and you want to join the new instances into them. If not, you can launch one or more groups by module terraform-alicloud-security-group
If you have no idea some parametes, such as instance type, availability zone and image id, the module will provide default values according to some input parameters, such as image_name_regex, cpu_core_count, memory_size and so on.

Note: If you specify the vswitch_id, the availability_zone would be ignore when launching ECS instances. Note: We have deprecated ECS instance field io_optimized from terraform-provider-alicloud. If you happened some I/O optimized issues, please download and update provider package from terraform-provider-alicloud release.

Usage

You can use this in your terraform template with the following steps.

Adding a module resource to your template, e.g. main.tf

module "tf-instances" {
    source = "alibaba/ecs-instance/alicloud"

    vswitch_id = "vsw-wqrw3c423"
    group_ids = ["sg-f2c2fwqvs"]
    private_ips = ["172.16.1.10", "172.16.1.20"]

    disk_category = "cloud_ssd"
    disk_name = "my_module_disk"
    disk_size = "50"
    number_of_disks = 2

    instance_name = "my_module_instances"
    host_name = "my-host"
    internet_charge_type = "PayByTraffic"
    number_of_instances = "2"

    key_name = "for-ecs-instance-module"

}
