Hi Team

   I am creating the NAT instance using Ansible. Below is my code.

# This is the NAT instance for routing traffic and jumphost, etc.

---

  - name: Create the NAT Instance

    ec2:

      region: "{{ vpc_region }}"

      ec2_access_key: "{{ ec2_access_key }}"

      ec2_secret_key: "{{ ec2_secret_key }}"

      keypair: "{{ ec2_keypair }}"

      instance_type: "{{ nat_instance_type }}"

      image: "{{ nat_image }}"

      vpc_subnet_id: "{{ public_subnet }}"

      assign_public_ip: yes

      group: "{{ vpc_name }}_sg_nat"

      source_dest_check: no

      wait: true

      instance_tags:

        Name: "{{ vpc_name }}_nat"

      exact_count: 1

      count_tag:

        Name: "{{ vpc_name }}_nat"

    register: ec2

  - name: Get the routing table entry for the main table

    shell: >

      {{ ec2_bin_path }}/ec2-describe-route-tables -O {{ ec2_access_key }} -W {{ ec2_secret_key }} -F vpc-id={{ vpc.vpc_id }} -F "association.main=true" | grep ROUTETABLE | awk '{ print $2 }'

    register: main_rtb

  - name: Get the NAT Instance ID and register

    shell: >

      {{ ec2_bin_path }}/ec2-describe-instances -O {{ ec2_access_key }} -W {{ ec2_secret_key }} -F vpc-id={{ vpc.vpc_id }} -F "instance-state-name=running" | grep "{{ vpc_name }}_nat" | awk '{ print $3 }'

    register: nat_instance

  - name: Set the gateway to nat interface.

    shell: >

      {{ ec2_bin_path }}/bin/ec2-create-route  -O {{ ec2_access_key }} -W {{ ec2_secret_key }} {{ main_rtb.stdout }} -r 0.0.0.0/0 -i {{ nat_instance.stdout }}

  - name: update subnet in the route table

    shell: >

      {{ ec2_bin_path }}/ec2-associate-route-table -O {{ ec2_access_key }} -W {{ ec2_secret_key }} {{ main_rtb.stdout }} -s {{ private_subnet }}
