Managing AWS Instances Using Ansible

Are you looking at managing AWS instances using Ansible. Then you are in the right area. AWS Instances can be created and managed with Ansible and we will show you how. Creating a Python Virtual Environment we install Ansible directly using pip. We add in the AWS Collection to manage Instances using Ansible and also add the requirements using pip. With this setup we show the Playbook used to create and display information including tags to control execution.
Additionally you can find my video courses on Pluralsight: pluralsight.com/training/Autho... and take time to see my own site www.theurbanpenguin.com

Thanks Andrew this is very interesting and something else I've learnt from you again, really appreciate your time in producing these for all to see. According to the lady at the end, I'm sadder :-)

LOL, thank you for getting to the end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHeYeH6aiZZmaqc A new ansible video went up today

Thanks Andrew this is very interesting! but what if I do not want to have my AWS cred in the playbook. i want to save it somewhere else. can I do "aws configure" on the control machine and then execute the playbook [without my aws cred in it]?

Nice to have separate env for test, dev etc. and keep them separate on one instance. So you always can start new from scratch without messing yours system environment. A knew it possible with python. But installing Ansible via pip in virtual env, that is something :) Thanks a lot sir !

Thank you for this video, Is there any difference between the modules ec2_instance and ec2 when it comes to creating an instance ??? coz i noticed when I use ec2 module when I run the playbook, a new instance is created each time whereas when I run it with ec2_instance idempotency is respected

[@theurbanpenguin]

the ec2 module I think ijs deprecated now and the community.aws.ec2_instance is the one to go for
