tf_aws_ubuntu_ami

Terraform module to get the current set of publicly available ubuntu AMIs.

This module grabs all of the AMIs listed at:

https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/

and then looks up the one you want given the input variables

Input variables

• region - E.g. eu-central-1
• distribution - E.g. trusty
• architecture - amd64/i386
• virttype - hvm/pv
• storagetype - instance-store/ebs-io1/ebs-ssd/ebs

Outputs

• ami_id

Example use

module "ami" {
  source = "github.com/terraform-community-modules/tf_aws_ubuntu_ami"
  region = "eu-central-1"
  distribution = "trusty"
  architecture = "amd64"
  virttype = "hvm"
  storagetype = "instance-store"
}

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  ami = "${module.ami.ami_id}"
  instance_type = "m3.8xlarge"
}

Short forms

This module also supports a couple of shortcuts for common configurations, where you know the instance_type you'd like to use, but don't want to bother looking up the virttype

ebs

module "ami" {
  source = "github.com/terraform-community-modules/tf_aws_ubuntu_ami/ebs"
  region = "eu-central-1"
  distribution = "trusty"
  instance_type = "m3.large"
}

instance-store

module "ami" {
  source = "github.com/terraform-community-modules/tf_aws_ubuntu_ami/instance-store"
  region = "eu-central-1"
  distribution = "trusty"
  instance_type = "m3.large"
}
