Hi EveryOne!

I’m Samuel, AWS DevOps, new in this community.

Firstly i’d like to thank the helping of IRC.

I have some clients with AWS/EC2 infrastructure, generally with VPC Private Cloud,  
ip addresses manageable and specific security groups.

When i used the ec2/boto pluggin, i realized that was create specific for “ec2 public clouds”  
so i decided the improve this support.

The requirements are as follows:

1.) Create a machine, in the vpc private cloud;  
2.) This machine needs have a specific IP delimited;  
3.) Close the ports, with a specific security groups;

Following the examples, i create my own playbook.

Hey Samuel, Michael,

Activity on this discussion seems to have stalled a bit, but I’d sure like to hear what the progress on this and related functionality is.

I need to spin up instances in a VPC security goup in a private subnet. Samuel, your contribution looks like precisely what I need, right? Does this functionality exist in any shape or form outside Samuel’s work? If not, Samuel, do you have any time to create a new pull request or rebase your pull request so it matches the current devel branch?

Thanks very much for your help in advance!

Sincerely,  
iordan

It seems I was able to satisfy my requirements using the devel branch by specifying:

group\_id

and:

vpc\_subnet\_id

Thanks!
