aws ec2 private and public DNS name

[deepak.d...@gmail.com]

Hi, I am new to terraform, i am using it to provision ec2 instances and i want to store the private and public DNS names of my ec2 instances as terraform's outputs variables - how can i do that?

Can some one please help me with it?

Thanks,

Deepak

  value = "${aws_instance.test.private_dns}"

}

One thing it took me months to realize is that, if you have a standard pattern to provision EC2 instances, it's all but free to also provision a Route 53 DNS name of your choosing while you're in there.  "myinstance.example.com" is a lot easier to remember than "ip-10-0-1-2.ec2.internal".

var "name" { default = "foo" }

resource "aws_instance" "instance" {

  name = "${var.name}"

  ...

}

resource "aws_route53_record" "dns" {

  name = "${var.name}.${var.domain}"

  ...

}

output "fqdn" {

  value = "${aws_route_53_record.dns.fqdn}"

}
