AWS credintials

• You can store them in .boto file
• Or export to the environment variable using export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXX and export AWS_SECRET_KEY=XXXXXXX as of now this step is implemented in code
• Or you can directly declare them as variables, in group_vars or in playbook vars.

So modify ec2_create role according to your usage

• ssh setup is required. for making changes in EC2 instances.

• ssh-keygen for creating new ssh keys. Accept the default values, and no passphrase, if it prompts you to add the new keys to the home directory, without overwriting existing ones.

• Now in AWS EC2 keypairs section create a new keypair using import key pair option which is present in Actions and copy paste the content in cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub.

• Change key-pair name accordingly in roles/vars/ec2_create the default key pair name i have used is jenkins_ubuntu.
