Provision AWS EC2 Windows VMs as Coder workspaces with this example template.
By default, this template authenticates to AWS using the provider's default authentication methods.
The simplest way (without making changes to the template) is via environment variables (e.g. AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID) or a credentials file. If you are running Coder on a VM, this file must be in /home/coder/aws/credentials.
To use another authentication method, edit the template.
The following sample policy allows Coder to create EC2 instances and modify instances provisioned by Coder:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:GetDefaultCreditSpecification",
"ec2:DescribeIamInstanceProfileAssociations",
"ec2:DescribeTags",
"ec2:DescribeInstances",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus",
"ec2:CreateTags",
"ec2:RunInstances",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications",
"ec2:DescribeImages",
"ec2:ModifyDefaultCreditSpecification",
"ec2:DescribeVolumes"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "CoderResources",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute",
"ec2:UnmonitorInstances",
"ec2:TerminateInstances",
"ec2:StartInstances",
"ec2:StopInstances",
"ec2:DeleteTags",
"ec2:MonitorInstances",
"ec2:CreateTags",
"ec2:RunInstances",
"ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute",
"ec2:ModifyInstanceCreditSpecification"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:instance/*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:ResourceTag/Coder_Provisioned": "true"
}
}
}
]
}This template provisions the following resources:
- AWS Instance
This template uses PowerShell user data to start and stop the Coder agent on the Windows VM. The workspace is fully persistent, meaning the full filesystem is preserved when the workspace restarts.
Note This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
