How Do I Build an AWS Imagebuilder Infrastructureconfiguration With Pulumi?

Introduction

In this guide, we will create an AWS Image Builder Infrastructure Configuration using Pulumi. AWS Image Builder is a service that makes it easy to automate the creation, management, and deployment of customized, secure, and up-to-date server images. The Infrastructure Configuration resource in AWS Image Builder defines the infrastructure within which your image pipelines will run.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set up Pulumi and AWS Provider

First, ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured with your AWS credentials. You can follow the Pulumi AWS setup guide for detailed instructions.

Step 2: Create a new Pulumi project

Run the following commands to create a new Pulumi project:

pulumi new aws-typescript

Step 3: Define the Infrastructure Configuration

In your index.ts file, add the following code to define the AWS Image Builder Infrastructure Configuration:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Define the IAM role for Image Builder
const imageBuilderRole = new aws.iam.Role("imageBuilderRole", {
    assumeRolePolicy: aws.iam.assumeRolePolicyForPrincipal({
        Service: "imagebuilder.amazonaws.com",
    }),
});

// Attach the necessary policies to the IAM role
const imageBuilderRolePolicy = new aws.iam.RolePolicyAttachment("imageBuilderRolePolicy", {
    role: imageBuilderRole.name,
    policyArn: aws.iam.ManagedPolicies.AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore,
});

// Define the infrastructure configuration
const infrastructureConfiguration = new aws.imagebuilder.InfrastructureConfiguration("exampleInfrastructureConfiguration", {
    instanceProfileName: imageBuilderRole.name,
    instanceTypes: ["t2.micro"],
    securityGroupIds: ["sg-0123456789abcdef0"], // Replace with your security group ID
    subnetId: "subnet-0123456789abcdef0", // Replace with your subnet ID
    terminateInstanceOnFailure: true,
});

export const infrastructureConfigurationArn = infrastructureConfiguration.arn;

Step 4: Deploy the Infrastructure Configuration

Run the following command to deploy your Pulumi stack:

pulumi up

This will create the AWS Image Builder Infrastructure Configuration along with the necessary IAM role and policies.

Conclusion

In this guide, we have successfully created an AWS Image Builder Infrastructure Configuration using Pulumi. This configuration defines the infrastructure within which your image pipelines will run, including the instance profile, instance types, security groups, and subnet. You can now use this infrastructure configuration in your image pipelines to automate the creation and management of your server images.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Define the IAM role for Image Builder
const imageBuilderRole = new aws.iam.Role("imageBuilderRole", {
    assumeRolePolicy: aws.iam.assumeRolePolicyForPrincipal({

    }),
});

// Attach the necessary policies to the IAM role
const imageBuilderRolePolicy = new aws.iam.RolePolicyAttachment("imageBuilderRolePolicy", {
    role: imageBuilderRole.name,
    policyArn: aws.iam.ManagedPolicies.AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore,
});

// Define the infrastructure configuration
const infrastructureConfiguration = new aws.imagebuilder.InfrastructureConfiguration("exampleInfrastructureConfiguration", {
    instanceProfileName: imageBuilderRole.name,
    instanceTypes: ["t2.micro"],
    securityGroupIds: ["sg-0123456789abcdef0"], // Replace with your security group ID
    subnetId: "subnet-0123456789abcdef0", // Replace with your subnet ID
    terminateInstanceOnFailure: true,
});

export const infrastructureConfigurationArn = infrastructureConfiguration.arn;
