aws-vpc-scenario2

Ansible v2 role to create a multi-AZ public/private zone VPC with NAT gateways (supports VPC removal as well as buildout). Amazon Web Services describes this as a "Scenario 2" VPC.

More info: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Scenario2.html

This role provides:

  • a VPC across two AZs
  • a public and a private subnet in each AZ
  • a RDS db subnet group using the private subnets
  • NAT Gateways for allowing Internet access from private subnets
  • relatively secure network ACLs for public and private subnets
  • two relatively secure VPC security groups for public or private instances
  • consistent and ubiquitous tagging of resources

See this blog post for more details.

Requirements

  • Ansible v2.2.x (makes use of newer cloud modules)
  • AWS account and credentials (OS-level environment variables were used for secrets)
  • AWS CLI and Boto

Role Variables

Adjust vars/main.yml to contain variable values that make sense for your deployment

Plays also require three extra vars to be supplied on invocation via ansible-playbook:

  • remote_cidr - network CIDR from which you will access the public subnets
  • environment - used for resource tags and resource names
  • vpc_status - triggers either creation or deletion of VPC

Dependencies

  • None

Example Playbook

Note: use the appropriate real-world value for your remote_cidr

Role play:

  ---
  - name: Create a Scenario 2 VPC with public and private subnets in two AZs
    hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: yes

    roles:
    - { role: rcrelia.aws-vpc-scenario2, remote_cidr: 1.2.3.4/32, aws_env: dev01, vpc_status: create }

Exact CLI syntax:

  $ ansible-playbook -i tests/inventory tests/site.yml -e "remote_cidr=1.2.3.4/32 aws_env=dev01 vpc_status=create"
  $ ansible-playbook -i tests/inventory tests/site.yml -e "remote_cidr=1.2.3.4/32 aws_env=dev01 vpc_status=delete"
