EC2 Instance

View Source Release Notes

Overview​

This service creates a single EC2 instance that includes server hardening, IAM role, EIP (optional), EBS Volume (optional), and CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alerts. Note that a single EC2 instance can be a single point of failure, so if you want to run multiple EC2 instances for high availability and scalability, see the asg-service.

Features​

  • Build an AMI to run on the EC2 instance
  • Create EC2 instance for the host
  • Allocate an optional Elastic IP Address (EIP) and an associated DNS record
  • Create an IAM Role and IAM instance profile
  • Create a security group to manage ingress and egress traffic on desired ports
  • Harden the OS by installing fail2ban, ntp, auto-update, ip-lockdown, and more
  • Send all logs and metrics to CloudWatch
  • Configure alerts in CloudWatch for CPU, memory, and disk space usage
  • Manage SSH access with IAM groups using ssh-grunt
  • Create and mount optional EBS volumes
  • Allow ingress traffic on desired ports

note

This repo is a part of the Gruntwork Service Catalog, a collection of reusable, battle-tested, production ready infrastructure code. If you’ve never used the Service Catalog before, make sure to read How to use the Gruntwork Service Catalog!

Core concepts​

The EC2 Instance AMI​

The EC2 Instance AMI is defined using the Packer template at ec2-instance.json. This template configures the AMI to:

  1. Run the ssh-grunt module so that developers can upload their public SSH keys to IAM and use those SSH keys, along with their IAM user names, toSSH to the EC2 instance.

  2. Run the auto-update module so that the EC2 instance installs security updates automatically.

  3. Optionally run the syslog module to automatically rotate and rate limit syslog so that the EC2 instance doesn’t run out of disk space from large volumes of logs.

Deploy​

Non-production deployment (quick start for learning)​

If you just want to try this repo out for experimenting and learning, check out the following resources:

  • examples/for-learning-and-testing folder: The examples/for-learning-and-testing folder contains standalone sample code optimized for learning, experimenting, and testing (but not direct production usage).

Production deployment​

If you want to deploy this repo in production, check out the following resources:

  • examples/for-production folder: The examples/for-production folder contains sample code optimized for direct usage in production. This is code from the Gruntwork Reference Architecture, and it shows you how we build an end-to-end, integrated tech stack on top of the Gruntwork Service Catalog, configure CI / CD for your apps and infrastructure.
