create_vpc

Ansible role to setup basic networking components of an AWS VPC viz. VPC, Subnet, Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway and Routing tables

Required variables

Setup the following vars and include them in the playbook before execution

api_keys:
  vpc:
    aws_access_key_id: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    aws_secret_access_key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
aws_region: us-east-1
vpc_name: vpc-1                     # Name of the VPC 
vpc:
  cidr_block: 172.16.0.0/16         # CIDR block of the VPC
  tenancy: default                  # Tenancy of the VPC 
  nat_gateway_subnet_name: public-1 # Name tag of the subnet where the NAT gateway iss to be created 
  subnets:
  - availability_zone: us-east-1a   # AZ of the subnet
    cidr_block: 172.16.0.0/24       # CIDR block of the subnet 
    name: public-1                  # Name tag of the subnet
    gateway: igw                    # The type of gateway, if any, whose entry should be in the routing table(s)
  - availability_zone: us-east-1a
    cidr_block: 172.16.1.0/24
    name: private-1
    gateway: nat
  - availability_zone: us-east-1a
    cidr_block: 172.16.2.0/24
    name: private-2

• If gateway is undefined for a subnet, the subnet is a private subnet without inbound/outbound access to the internet

• If gateway is igw, the subnet is a public subnet

• If gateway is nat, the subnet is a private subnet with outbound internet access

• It might be advantageous to specify the vpc configurations in a file named as the vpc_name, pass the value as an extra var, and include the particular vars file

Example Playbook

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
     - { role: mikhailadvani.create_vpc }
