Hello Jbardin, thanks for your response. We have a client that we’re trying to use terraform to provision some servers and using ansible to deploy software on those servers. I’ve google and tried many google Terraform and Ansible examples unsuccessfully. I have the terraform provisioning the aws EC2 instance and etc. However I hadn’t be able to get Terraform and Ansible to work together. Based on your recommendation, I change the private_ip change to public_ip (see modified code below). I received this error:
Begining of Error
Error: remote-exec provisioner error
with null_resource.example,
on main.tf line 15, in resource “null_resource” “example”:
15: provisioner “remote-exec” {
timeout -last error: dial tcp #.##.###.##:22: i/o timeout
Ending of Error
BTW the instance appears in the AWS console and I’m able to logon via putty.
Begin private ip to public ip change
resource “null_resource” “example” {
provisioner “remote-exec” {
connection {
type = “ssh”
user = “centos”
private_key = file(“Test-Key-1.pem”)
host = aws_instance.example.public_ip
file = file(“files/id_rsa”)
}
#END private ip to public ip change
What’s the best practice to use Terraform and Ansible?
