AWS marketplace and terraform

[Sean Farrow]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to provision software/resources from the AWS market place using terraform?

If yes, is there any documentation?

If not, I’d be happy to contribute this as it looks like we’re going to use this functionality.

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards

Sean.

Services in the AWS Marketplace are delivered as an AMI, so you can provision Marketplace services by getting the AMI ID from the Marketplace and using that inside Terraform. The only prerequisite is that you've previously accepted the terms for the product you wish to use using the Marketplace UI, else the API will return an error.

Hi Andrew,

 

Thanks for this, can I automate the license acceptance in anyway?

Cheers

Sean.

It seems not, unfortunately. The documentation at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/launch-marketplace-console.html refers to the fact that you need to subscribe before you can launch using the API.

I take from that there is no way to subscribe through the API, which is probably a deliberate thing to get you to read the terms, agree pricing etc.

The workaround following: 

You can spin up EC2 instance from Marketplace then create image from the running instance and use the AMI ID from your images.
