alicloud_ecs

Provides a ECS instance resource.

Example Usage

# Create a new ECS instance for classic
resource "alicloud_security_group" "classic" {
	name = "tf_test_foo"
	description = "foo"
}

resource "alicloud_instance" "classic" {
	# cn-beijing
	availability_zone = "cn-beijing-b"
	security_group_id = "${alicloud_security_group.classic.id}"

	allocate_public_ip = "true"

	# series II
	instance_type = "ecs.n1.medium"
	io_optimized = "optimized"
	system_disk_category = "cloud_efficiency"
	image_id = "ubuntu_140405_64_40G_cloudinit_20161115.vhd"
	instance_name = "test_foo"
}

# Create a new ECS instance for VPC
resource "alicloud_vpc" "default" {
	# Other parameters...
}

resource "alicloud_vswitch" "default" {
	# Other parameters...
}

resource "alicloud_slb" "vpc" {
	name = "test-slb-tf"
	vpc_id =  "${alicloud_vpc.default.id}"
	vswitch_id = "${alicloud_vswitch.default.id}"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• availability_zone - (Required) The Zone to start the instance in.
• image_id - (Required) The Image to use for the instance.
• instance_type - (Required) The type of instance to start.
• security_group_ids - (Required) A list of security group ids to associate with. If you are creating Instances in a VPC, use vpc_security_group_ids instead. security_group_ids instead.
• instance_name - (Optional) The name of the ECS. This instance_name can have a string of 2 to 128 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, such as "-",".","_", and must not begin or end with a hyphen, and must not begin with http:// or https://. If not specified, Terraform will autogenerate a name beginning with tf-ecs.
• allocate_public_ip - (Optional) Associate a public ip address with an instance in a VPC or Classic. Boolean value, Default is false.
• io_optimized - (Optional) Valid values are none, optimized, If optimized, the launched ECS instance will be I/O optimized. Default is optimized.
• system_disk_category - (Optional) Valid values are cloud, cloud_efficiency, cloud_ssd, For I/O optimized instance type, cloud_ssd and cloud_efficiency disks are supported. For non I/O Optimized instance type, cloud disk are supported.
• system_disk_size - (Optional) Size of the system disk, value range: 40GB ~ 500GB. Default is 40GB.
• description - (Optional) Description of the instance, This description can have a string of 2 to 256 characters, It cannot begin with http:// or https://. Default value is null.
• internet_charge_type - (Optional) Internet charge type of the instance, Valid values are PayByBandwidth, PayByTraffic. Default is PayByBandwidth.
• internet_max_bandwidth_in - (Optional) Maximum incoming bandwidth from the public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second). Value range: [1, 200]. If this value is not specified, then automatically sets it to 200 Mbps.
• internet_max_bandwidth_out - (Optional) Maximum outgoing bandwidth to the public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second). Value range: internet_charge_type is PayByBandwidth: this value range [0, 100], If this value is not specified, then automatically sets it to 0 Mbps; If internet_charge_type is PayByTraffic: this value range [1, 100]. this value must be set value, such as 5.
• host_name - (Optional) Host name of the ECS, which is a string of at least two characters. “hostname” cannot start or end with “.” or “-“.

On other OSs such as Linux, the host name can contain a maximum of 30 characters, which can be segments separated by dots (“.”), where each segment can contain uppercase/lowercase letters, numerals, or “_“.
• password - (Optional) Password to an instance is a string of 8 to 30 characters. It must contain uppercase/lowercase letters and numerals, but cannot contain special symbols.
• vswitch_id - (Optional) The virtual switch ID to launch in VPC. If you want to create instances in VPC network, this parameter must be set.
• instance_charge_type - (Optional) Valid values are PrePaid, PostPaid, The default is PostPaid.
• period - (Optional) The time that you have bought the resource, in month. Only valid when instance_charge_type is set as PrePaid. Value range [1, 12].
• private_ip - (Optional) Private IP address to associate with the instance in a VPC.
• tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.
