Molecule EC2 is designed to allow use of AWS EC2 for provisioning of test resources.
.. _quickstart:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install molecule-ec2
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.
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>
