AWS Amazon EC2 Attachment
This page shows how to write Terraform and CloudFormation for Amazon EC2 Attachment and write them securely.
aws_network_interface_attachment (Terraform)
The Attachment in Amazon EC2 can be configured in Terraform with the resource name aws_network_interface_attachment. The following sections describe 1 example of how to use the resource and its parameters.
Example Usage from GitHub
resource "aws_network_interface_attachment" "eni_subnet_03" {
count = local.instances_middle_per_subnet
instance_id = aws_instance.middle_subnet_0[count.index].id
network_interface_id = aws_network_interface.eni_subnet_03[count.index].id
device_index = 1
}
Parameters
-
attachment_idoptional computed - string -
device_indexrequired - number -
idoptional computed - string -
instance_idrequired - string -
network_interface_idrequired - string -
statusoptional computed - string
Explanation in Terraform Registry
Attach an Elastic network interface (ENI) resource with EC2 instance.
Tips: Best Practices for The Other AWS Amazon EC2 Resources
In addition to the aws_default_vpc, AWS Amazon EC2 has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
aws_default_vpc
Ensure to avoid using default VPC
It is better to define the own VPC and use it.
aws_network_acl_rule
Ensure your network ACL rule blocks unwanted inbound traffic
It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.
aws_ebs_volume
Ensure to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption
It is better to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption. It can be gain more control over the encryption by using customer-managed keys (CMK).
aws_instance
Ensure to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data
It is better to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data. `aws_iam_instance_profile` could be used instead.
aws_security_group
Ensure your security group blocks unwanted inbound traffic
It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.
