CDK Construct for creating an Amazon Linux EC2 instance with pre-installed software
Project description
CDK Preinstalled Amazon Linux EC2 Instance Construct
This is a CDK Construct for creating a preinstalled AmazonLinux EC2 instance.
You can use Node.js, Visual Studio Code, git and other software as soon as the EC2 instance starts.
Usage
Install the package:
npm install cdk-preinstalled-amazon-linux-ec2
Use it in your CDK stack:
import { PreinstalledAmazonLinuxInstance } from 'cdk-preinstalled-amazon-linux-ec2';
import * as ec2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2';
declare const vpc: ec2.IVpc;
// You can configure all properties of the EC2 instance
new PreinstalledAmazonLinuxInstance(this, 'Instance', {
vpc,
instanceType: ec2.InstanceType.of(ec2.InstanceClass.T3, ec2.InstanceSize.NANO),
machineImage: new ec2.AmazonLinuxImage({
generation: ec2.AmazonLinuxGeneration.AMAZON_LINUX_2023,
}),
// Specify preinstalled software
preinstalledSoftware: {
packages: [
PreinstalledSoftwareType.NODEJS,
PreinstalledSoftwareType.VSCODE,
PreinstalledSoftwareType.GIT,
],
others: ['rsyslog'], // You can specify other software packages. These parameters are used as `sudo dnf install ${parameter}`
});
After the stack is deployed, you can SSH into the EC2 instance and use Node.js:
$ ssh ec2-user@<public-ip>
$ node --version
v20.13.1
$ code --version
1.89.1
$ git --version
git version 2.39.3
user data
Installation of software is done by user data script. You can see the script in the src/index.ts
file.
// Install Node.js
userData.addCommands(
'touch ~/.bashrc',
'curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash',
'source ~/.bashrc',
'export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"',
'[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"',
`nvm install ${props.nodeJsVersion ?? '--lts'}`,
// Note that the above will install nvm, node and npm for the root user.
// It will not add the correct ENV VAR in ec2-user's environment.
`cat <<EOF >> /home/ec2-user/.bashrc
export NVM_DIR="/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
EOF`);
Ofcourse, you can customize the additional user data script by calling instance.userData.addCommands()
method.
declare const instance: PreinstalledAmazonLinuxInstance;
// install yarn
instance.userData.addCommands(
'npm install -g yarn'
);
