Molecule EC2 is designed to allow use of AWS EC2 for provisioning of test resources.

.. _quickstart:

Quickstart

Installation

.. code-block:: bash

pip install molecule-ec2

Create a scenario

With a new role ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash

molecule init role -d ec2 my-role

This will create a new folder my-role containing a bare-bone generated role like you would do with ansible-galaxy init command. It will also contain a molecule folder with a default scenario using the ec2 driver (using ansible community.aws.ec2_instance collection). Install the collection using ansible-galaxy install -r test_requirements.yml.

In a pre-existing role ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash

molecule init scenario -d ec2

This will create a default scenario with the ec2 driver in a molecule folder, located in the current working directory.

Example

This is a molecule.yml example file

.. code-block:: yaml

dependency: name: galaxy driver: name: ec2 platforms: - name: instance image_owner: 099720109477 image_name: ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-* instance_type: t2.micro vpc_subnet_id: tags: - Name: molecule_instance provisioner: name: ansible verifier: name: ansible

All you need to do is fill in the subnet-id you want to create your test instance into. Then run

.. code-block:: bash

molecule test

.. note:: To make this work, you need to export your AWS credentials, as well as the AWS region you want to use, in your environment.

.. code-block:: bash

  export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=ACCESS_API_KEY
  export AWS_SECRET_KEY=SECRET_API_KEY
  export AWS_REGION=us-east-1

You can read more about managing AWS credentials with Ansible modules in the official documentation of the Ansible AWS modules <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws>_
