Ansible Dynamic inventory on AWS by Raj Gupta


1. Create a role which has access to all ec2 server and attach it with ansible server(master)

2. Download ec2.py and ec2.ini files on master

===========================================================
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ vi ec2.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

'''
EC2 external inventory script
=================================

Generates inventory that Ansible can understand by making API request to
AWS EC2 using the Boto library.

NOTE: This script assumes Ansible is being executed where the environment
variables needed for Boto have already been set:
    export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AK123'
    export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='abc123'

Optional region environment variable if region is 'auto'

This script also assumes that there is an ec2.ini file alongside it.  To specify a
different path to ec2.ini, define the EC2_INI_PATH environment variable:

    export EC2_INI_PATH=/path/to/my_ec2.ini

If you're using eucalyptus you need to set the above variables and
you need to define:

    export EC2_URL=http://hostname_of_your_cc:port/services/Eucalyptus

If you're using boto profiles (requires boto>=2.24.0) you can choose a profile
using the --boto-profile command line argument (e.g. ec2.py --boto-profile prod) or using
the AWS_PROFILE variable:

    AWS_PROFILE=prod ansible-playbook -i ec2.py myplaybook.yml

For more details, see: http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html

You can filter for specific EC2 instances by creating an environment variable
named EC2_INSTANCE_FILTERS, which has the same format as the instance_filters
entry documented in ec2.ini.  For example, to find all hosts whose name begins
with 'webserver', one might use:

    export EC2_INSTANCE_FILTERS='tag:Name=webserver*'

When run against a specific host, this script returns the following variables:
 - ec2_ami_launch_index
 - ec2_architecture
 - ec2_association
 - ec2_attachTime
 - ec2_attachment
 - ec2_attachmentId
 - ec2_block_devices
 - ec2_client_token
 - ec2_deleteOnTermination
 - ec2_description
 - ec2_deviceIndex
 - ec2_dns_name
 - ec2_eventsSet
 - ec2_group_name
 - ec2_hypervisor
 - ec2_id
 - ec2_image_id
 - ec2_instanceState
 - ec2_instance_type
 - ec2_ipOwnerId
 - ec2_ip_address
 - ec2_item
 - ec2_kernel
 - ec2_key_name
 - ec2_launch_time
 - ec2_monitored
 - ec2_monitoring
 - ec2_networkInterfaceId
 - ec2_ownerId
 - ec2_persistent
 - ec2_placement
 - ec2_platform
 - ec2_previous_state
 - ec2_private_dns_name
 - ec2_private_ip_address
 - ec2_publicIp
 - ec2_public_dns_name
 - ec2_ramdisk
 - ec2_reason
 - ec2_region
 - ec2_requester_id
 - ec2_root_device_name
 - ec2_root_device_type
 - ec2_security_group_ids
 - ec2_security_group_names
 - ec2_shutdown_state
 - ec2_sourceDestCheck
 - ec2_spot_instance_request_id
 - ec2_state
 - ec2_state_code
 - ec2_state_reason
 - ec2_status
 - ec2_subnet_id
 - ec2_tenancy
 - ec2_virtualization_type
 - ec2_vpc_id

These variables are pulled out of a boto.ec2.instance object. There is a lack of
consistency with variable spellings (camelCase and underscores) since this
just loops through all variables the object exposes. It is preferred to use the
ones with underscores when multiple exist.

In addition, if an instance has AWS tags associated with it, each tag is a new
variable named:
 - ec2_tag_[Key] = [Value]

Security groups are comma-separated in 'ec2_security_group_ids' and
'ec2_security_group_names'.

When destination_format and destination_format_tags are specified
the destination_format can be built from the instance tags and attributes.
The behavior will first check the user defined tags, then proceed to
check instance attributes, and finally if neither are found 'nil' will
be used instead.

'my_instance': {
    'region': 'us-east-1',             # attribute
    'availability_zone': 'us-east-1a', # attribute
    'private_dns_name': '172.31.0.1',  # attribute
    'ec2_tag_deployment': 'blue',      # tag
    'ec2_tag_clusterid': 'ansible',    # tag
    'ec2_tag_Name': 'webserver',       # tag
    ...
}

Inside of the ec2.ini file the following settings are specified:
...
destination_format: {0}-{1}-{2}-{3}
destination_format_tags: Name,clusterid,deployment,private_dns_name
...

These settings would produce a destination_format as the following:
'webserver-ansible-blue-172.31.0.1'

# When generating inventory, Ansible needs to know how to address a server.
# Each EC2 instance has a lot of variables associated with it. Here is the list:
#   http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.instance
# Below are 2 variables that are used as the address of a server:
#   - destination_variable
#   - vpc_destination_variable

# This is the normal destination variable to use. If you are running Ansible
# from outside EC2, then 'public_dns_name' makes the most sense. If you are
# running Ansible from within EC2, then perhaps you want to use the internal
# address, and should set this to 'private_dns_name'. The key of an EC2 tag
# may optionally be used; however the boto instance variables hold precedence
# in the event of a collision.
destination_variable = public_dns_name

# This allows you to override the inventory_name with an ec2 variable, instead
# of using the destination_variable above. Addressing (aka ansible_ssh_host)
# will still use destination_variable. Tags should be written as 'tag_TAGNAME'.
#hostname_variable = tag_Name

# For server inside a VPC, using DNS names may not make sense. When an instance
# has 'subnet_id' set, this variable is used. If the subnet is public, setting
# this to 'ip_address' will return the public IP address. For instances in a
# private subnet, this should be set to 'private_ip_address', and Ansible must
# be run from within EC2. The key of an EC2 tag may optionally be used; however
# the boto instance variables hold precedence in the event of a collision.
# WARNING: - instances that are in the private vpc, _without_ public ip address
# will not be listed in the inventory until You set:
# vpc_destination_variable = private_ip_address
vpc_destination_variable = ip_address

# The following two settings allow flexible ansible host naming based on a
# python format string and a comma-separated list of ec2 tags.  Note that:
#
# 1) If the tags referenced are not present for some instances, empty strings
#    will be substituted in the format string.
# 2) This overrides both destination_variable and vpc_destination_variable.

3. add executing permissions to ec2.py script

[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ chmod 755 ec2.py

4. now test it 

if you get error during run then do below then run
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ vi ec2.ini
# To exclude ElastiCache instances from the inventory, uncomment and set to False.

elasticache = False   ----uncommant this line

now run it

[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ ./ec2.py --list


5. List out servers which are running on ap-south-1a AZ


[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ ansible -i ec2.py  ap-south-1a --list-hosts
