SSM-Ansible

This is a basic POC to show capabilities of SSM State Manager Document AWS-ApplyAnsiblePlaybooks.

• Create an EC2 instance, a SSM State Manager Association will be created and apply a provision playbook to the instance.
• If the instance is stopped, then started again, the Association will be updated and apply an update playbook to the instance.
• Terminate the instance, the Association will be deleted.

Preparing environment

Execute the commands in each of the following sections:

• Terraform
• Cloudformation
• Ansible

The following should be the end result:

Provision

• Create an EC2 instance in the private subnet of the vpc created by ssm_network, assign the role created by ssm_global to the instance, and a tag of Key:ManagedBy, Value:Ansible.
  • An SSM State Manager Association will be created and apply a provision playbook to the instance.
• If the instance is stopped, then started again, the Association will be updated and apply an update playbook to the instance.
• Terminate the instance, the Association will be deleted.

Workflow of above:

I'm by no means an expert in Ansible or Python, so I know some of what I've done probably isn't best practices.
