Terminating EC2 instances with Ansible Playbook

-

Please find a simple Ansible playbook for terminating EC2 instance in AWS using instance id.


Pre-requisites:
Make sure you create an IAM role with AmazonEC2FullAccess policy and attach the role to EC2 instance.

Login to EC2 instance using Git bash or ITerm/putty where you installed Ansible. Execute the below command to edit Ansible hosts or inventory file

sudo vi /etc/ansible/hosts 

Add the below two lines in the end of the file:
[localhost]
local

save the file and come out of it.

Create the playbook by executing below command:








sudo vi terminate.yml 
---
 - name: ec2 provisioning using Ansible
   hosts: local
   connection: local
   gather_facts: False

 - hosts: local
   gather_facts: False
   connection: local
   vars:
     - region: 'us-east-2'
     - ec2_id: 'i-05f39cfb80c97df38'
   tasks:
     - name: Terminate instances
       local_action: ec2
         state='absent'
         instance_ids='{{ ec2_id }}'
         region='{{ region }}'
         wait=True

This playbook can be executed by two ways. Either mention instance ID in the ansible playbook or pass as an argument. Intstance Id can be taken from AWS mgmt console.



ansible-playbook terminate.yml -e ec2_id=i-xxxx


PLAY [ec2 provisioning using Ansible] *********************************************************************
PLAY [local] **********************************************************************************************

Setup build agent/slave VM and Integrate with Jenkins Master

-

Jenkins has powerful feature of master slave architecture which enables distributed builds. This article we will learn how to establish slave nodes on Ubuntu machines and integrate with Jenkins Master. Jenkins Master Your main Jenkins server is the Master. The Master’s job is to handle: Scheduling build jobs. Dispatching builds to the slaves for the actual execution. Monitor the slaves (possibly taking them online and offline as required). Recording and presenting the build results. A Master instance of Jenkins can also execute build jobs directly. Jenkins Slave A Slave is a Java executable that runs on a remote machine. Following are the characteristics of Jenkins Slaves: It hears requests from the Jenkins Master instance. Slaves can run on a variety of operating systems. The job of a Slave is to do as they are told to, which involves executing build jobs dispatched by the Master. You can configure a project to always run on a particular Slave machine, or a particular type of Slave ma...

  How to setup SonarQube using Docker compose? SonarQube is static code analyis tool. It is open source and Java based tool. SonarQube can be setup using Docker Compose with less manual steps. What is Docker Compose? Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.  Since Docker Compose lets you configure related containers in a single YAML file, you get the same Infrastructure-as-Code abilities as Kubernetes. But they come in a simpler system that’s more suited to smaller applications that don’t need Kubernetes’ resiliency and scaling.   The purpose of  docker - compose  is to function as  docker  cli but to  issue multiple commands much more quickly. To make use of  docker - compose , you  need  to encode the commands you were running...

Creating Amazon EKS cluster by eksctl

-
Image
What is Amazon EKS Amazon EKS is a fully managed container orchestration service. EKS allows you to quickly deploy a production ready Kubernetes cluster in AWS, deploy and manage containerized applications more easily with a fully managed Kubernetes service. EKS takes care of master node/control plane. We need to create worker nodes. EKS cluster can be created in following ways: 1. AWS console 2. AWS CLI 3. eksctl command 4. using Terraform We will create EKS cluster using eksctl command line tool. Pre-requisites: This Lab is using Jenkins EC2 instance. Jenkins EC2 instance needs to have following configured: Install AWS CLI   – Command line tools for working with AWS services, including Amazon EKS. Install eksctl   –  A command line tool for working with EKS clusters that automates many individual tasks. Install kubectl    – A command line tool for working with Kubernetes clusters.  Create IAM Role with Administrator Access You need to create an IAM r...
