Want to create two ec2 instance under a vpc using terraform - amazon-web-services

I want to create two ec2 instance under a vpc via terraform. With my code I can easily deploy the vpc, security group & subnet but when in instance section found some error. Can you help me to resolve this issue. But 'terraform plan' command will execute successfully.

Error

ami-0fc025e3171c5a1bf is for the arm64 architecture and will not work with a t2.micro. If you need an arm platform, you will need to use an instance type in the a1 family.
Otherwise, you can use the x86-64 equivalent of Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume using ami-0d1cd67c26f5fca19.

How to launch multiple AWS EC2 instances from a single VPC using Terraform?

Is it possible to launch multiple ec2 instances from terraform using a single VPC? I'm building something which requires multiple instances to be launched from the same region and I'm doing all this using Terraform. But there's a limit in AWS VPC: per region only 5 VPCs are allowed. What I've been doing until now is each time when I need to launch an instance I create a separate VPC for it in terraform. Below is the code for reference:
terraform {
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 3.0"
}
}
}
# Configure the AWS Provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-2"
access_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
secret_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
# 1. Create vpc
resource "aws_vpc" "prod-vpc" {
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
tags = {
Name = "production"
}
}
# 2. Create Internet Gateway
resource "aws_internet_gateway" "gw" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.prod-vpc.id
}
# 3. Create Custom Route Table
resource "aws_route_table" "prod-route-table" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.prod-vpc.id
route {
cidr_block = "0.0.0.0/0"
gateway_id = aws_internet_gateway.gw.id
}
route {
ipv6_cidr_block = "::/0"
gateway_id = aws_internet_gateway.gw.id
}
tags = {
Name = "Prod"
}
}
# 4. Create a Subnet
resource "aws_subnet" "subnet-1" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.prod-vpc.id
cidr_block = "10.0.1.0/24"
availability_zone = "us-east-2a"
tags = {
Name = "prod-subnet"
}
}

}

}
}

depends_on = [aws_eip.one]
user_data = <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash
python3 /home/ubuntu/setting_instance.py
EOF
tags = {
Name = var.INSTANCE_NAME
}
}
The only downside to this code is it creates separate VPC everytime I create an instance. I read in a stackoverflow post that we can import an existing VPC using terraform import command. Along with the VPC, I had to import the Internet Gateway and Route Table as well (it was throwing error otherwise). But then I wasn't able to access the instance using SSH and also the commands in the user_data part didn't execute (setting_instance.py will send a firebase notification once the instance starts. That's the only purpose of setting_instance.py)
Not only VPC I'd also like to know if I can use the other resources as well to it's fullest extent possible.
I'm new to terraform and AWS. Any suggestions in the above code are welcome.
EDIT: Instances are created one at a time according to the need, i.e., whenever there is a need to create a new instance I use this code. In the current scenario if there are already 5 instances running up in a region then I won't be able to use this code to create a 6th instance in the same region when the demand arises.
If as you say, they would be exactly same, the easiest way would be to use count, which would indicate how many instance you want to have. For that you can introduce new variable:
variable "number_of_instance" {
default = 1
}
and then
resource "aws_instance" "web-server-instance" {
count = var.number_of_instance
ami = var.AMI_ID
instance_type = "g4dn.xlarge"
availability_zone = "us-east-2a"
key_name = "us-east-2"
network_interface {
device_index = 0
network_interface_id = aws_network_interface.web-server-nic.id
}
root_block_device {
volume_size = "200"
}
iam_instance_profile = aws_iam_instance_profile.training_profile.name
depends_on = [aws_eip.one]
user_data = <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash
python3 /home/ubuntu/setting_instance.py
EOF
tags = {
Name = var.INSTANCE_NAME
}
}
All this must be manage by same state file, not fully separate state files, as again you will end up with duplicates of the VPC. You only change number_of_instance to what you want. For more resilient solution, you would have to use autoscaling group for the instances.

Can't resolve AWS ElastiCache redis cluster endpoint

I'm trying to use an elasticache redis cluster from a fargate service, but am getting address resolution issues - "ENOTFOUND" errors from "getaddrinfo" for the cluster endpoint in my code, and NXDOMAIN errors if I try and do nslookup from inside the container.
The cluster is set up as
resource "aws_elasticache_cluster" "redis_service" {
cluster_id = "${terraform.workspace}-${local.app_name}-redis-service"

vpc_id = aws_vpc.ecs-vpc.id
name = "${terraform.workspace}-redis"
ingress {
from_port = 0
to_port = 0
protocol = "-1"
self = true
cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] # Originally had this restricting to the security group that my fargate service is in, but made it less restrictive trying to debug the issue
}
egress {

cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
}
}

destination_cidr_block = "0.0.0.0/0"
nat_gateway_id = aws_nat_gateway.subnet1.id
route_table_id = aws_route_table.redis1.id
}
The fargate service I'm trying to connect from is in the same vpc.
I've checked throw the AWS documentation on connected to elasticache clusters, but not seen anything that seems to be missing.
The VPC reachability analyzer seems to confirm that the cluster should be reachable from the service (using the relevant enis).
Any ideas for fixes or debugging steps?

AWS Elasticache redis cluster configuration

I'm a bit new to terraform and was and needed some help on what's the issue with this. It creates the according resources but when connecting to the endpoint, I get a timeout. I noticed the security group isn't actually being created but I'm not sure why. Any help would be appreciated.
configuration:

region = "us-west-2"
}

}
}

name = "example"
description = "Example subnet group"
subnet_ids = ["${aws_subnet.example.id}"]
}
connection to endpoint:
import os
import redis
ENDPOINT = os.environ.get('REDIS_HOST')
client = redis.Redis(host=ENDPOINT, port=6379, db=0)
client.ping()
(passwordless cluster)
EDIT:
I call the endpoint in python on my local machine.
You can't access EC cluster from outside of AWS directly, as it can only be accessed from VPC. You must use VPN, Direct Connect or SSH tunnel if you want to connect from your home network.

Can't connect to Terraform-created instance with Private Key, but CAN connect when I create instance in Console

I've created the following key pair and EC2 instance using Terraform. I'll leave the SG config out of it, but it allows SSH from the internet.
When I try to SSH into this instance I get the errors "Server Refused our Key" and "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey).
However I am able to login when I create a separate EC2 instance in the console and assign it the same key pair assigned in the TF script.
Has anyone seen this behavior? What causes it?

As specified in the comments, removing the metadata_options from the instance resource resolves the issue.
The fix is to update the metadata_options to be:
metadata_options { #Enabling IMDSv2
http_endpoint = "enabled"
http_tokens = "required"
}
Looking at the Terraform documentation for metadata_options shows that:
http_endpoint = "disabled" means that the metadata service is unavailable.
http_tokens = "required" means that the metadata service requires session tokens (ie IMDSv2).
This is an invalid configuration, as specified in the AWS docs:
You can opt in to require that IMDSv2 is used when requesting instance metadata. Use the modify-instance-metadata-options CLI command and set the http-tokens parameter to required. When you specify a value for http-tokens, you must also set http-endpoint to enabled.

Terraform - DB and security group are in different VPCs

What am I trying to achive:
Create and RDS Aurora cluster and place it in the same VPC as EC2 instances that I start so they can comunicate.
I'm trying to start an SG named "RDS_DB_SG" and make it part of the VPC i'm creating in the process.
I also create an SG named "BE_SG" and make it part of the same VPC.
I'm doing this so I can get access between the 2 (RDS and BE server).
What I did so far:
Created an .tf code and started everything up.
What I got:
It starts ok if I don't include the RDS cluster inside the RDS SG - The RDS creates it's own VPC.
When I include the RDS in the SG I want for him, The RDS cluster can't start and get's an error.
Error I got:
"The DB instance and EC2 security group are in different VPCs. The DB instance is in vpc-5a***63c and the EC2 security group is in vpc-0e5391*****273b3d"
Workaround for now:
I started the infrastructure without specifing a VPC for the RDS. It created it's own default VPC.
I then created manuall VPC-peering between the VPC that was created for the EC2's and the VPC that was created for the RDS.
But I want them to be in the same VPC so I won't have to create the VPC-peering manuall.
My .tf code:
