Role Variables

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

defaults/main.yml:

Provision

Once the variables have been defined within the role, the playbook can be run to provision the instance within AWS.

# ansible-playbook main.yml

Teardown

Default position of this role is to provision instances, so the default value of teardown variable is false. If you want to terminate instance(s) and remove AWS VPC elements, set teardown to true. This can be done within the defaults/main.yml variable, or at runtime by using the --extra-vars 'teardown=true'

# ansible-playbook --extra-vars 'teardown=true'

or

# ansible-playbook -e 'teardown=true'
