Molecule: Feature request: aws provider

[hryamzik]

Would really love to see aws support.

This is currently being developed. It will most likely come in the 2.0 release with the driver refactor.

I'm going to close this out. We don't have an internal use case for this. _If someone in the community wishes to implement it_, that is _great_. However, having an issue open for this doesn't make sense, since nobody on the molecule is slated to work on it.

hey @retr0h - I totally understand if this is something your team would like to farm out. This is something I'm really interested in adding (mostly for selfish reasons) - can you provide more guidance on where this can be added? Ideally I'd use the vagrant to save some time. I saw someone else was working on this at one point - but I also see your team is in the midst of a big refactor. Is my time better spent trying to target the refactored vagrant driver?

[retr0h]

@msheiny your best bet would be adding this functionality to our v2 branch. The v2 branch uses ansible to manage instances, therefore it would be a simple playbook to spin up an instance in Amazon, which Molecule would converge against. v2 is a few months out, but makes most sense there.

@msheiny are you working on this ?

[retr0h]

@Deepakkothandan @msheiny I'll likely implement it by EOW. I'm refactoring v2's functional tests ATM, and want to test the ease of driver additions. AWS seemed like a good candidate.

noopeee @Deepakkothandan / @retr0h -- sorry i got sidetracked in other projects :( but I did essentially end up using ansible playbooks against ec2 for standup and teardown in the project in question that I needed this on.

Ill hold tight for your changes @retr0h and see if I can append to them. It would be great to switch my existing hobbled together bash scripts + ansible playbooks to utilize molecule instead.

@msheiny @Deepakkothandan just landed ec2 support https://github.com/metacloud/molecule/pull/832.

[Deepakkothandan]

@retr0h Awesome... I will take it up for a spin and update you.
