Using terraform with aws

[ aws . iam ]

Description¶

I'm using the following: Windows 10 Visual Studio Code v1.17.0 Terraform v0.10.3 AWS I'm very new to Terraform. I've been reading a series of posts here which have been very helpful I'm strug. Feb 17, 2020 Terraform module for generating or importing an SSH public key file into AWS. This project is part of our comprehensive 'SweetOps' approach towards DevOps. It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2. We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Tutorial and source code explaining how to manage AWS EC2 Instances and Security with Terraform. EC2 Instances and Resource Security. This is the continuation of a AWS Terraform demo to create a VPC in AWS with an EC2 instance connected to MariaDB database running in RDS using a single Terraform plan. Continue the demo, see: Terraform Setup and VPC Subnet Creation. This will create an SSH key pair that lives in the Terraform state (it is not written to disk in files other than what might be done for the Terraform state itself when not using remote state), creates an AWS key pair based on the public key and then creates an Ubuntu 14.04 instance where the ubuntu user is accessible with the private key that was generated.

Uploads an SSH public key and associates it with the specified IAM user.

The SSH public key uploaded by this operation can be used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository. For more information about using SSH keys to authenticate to an AWS CodeCommit repository, see Set up AWS CodeCommit for SSH Connections in the AWS CodeCommit User Guide .

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis¶

Options¶

--user-name (string)

The name of the IAM user to associate the SSH public key with.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

--ssh-public-key-body (string)

The SSH public key. The public key must be encoded in ssh-rsa format or PEM format. The minimum bit-length of the public key is 2048 bits. For example, you can generate a 2048-bit key, and the resulting PEM file is 1679 bytes long.

The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

  • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character (u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
  • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through u00FF )
  • The special characters tab (u0009 ), line feed (u000A ), and carriage return (u000D )

--cli-input-json (string)Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string)Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To upload an SSH public key and associate it with a user

The following upload-ssh-public-key command uploads the public key found in the file 'sshkey.pub' and attaches it to the user 'sofia'.

[ aws . iam ]

Description¶

Retrieves the specified SSH public key, including metadata about the key.

The SSH public key retrieved by this operation is used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository.
