What is this integration?

Amazon EC2 provides secure, resizable compute capacity.

​
What Monk manages

  • VPC, Subnet, Security Group

​
What the Agent can do and how to use it

  • VPC Management: Create, configure, and delete Virtual Private Clouds
  • Subnet Configuration: Set up public, private, and isolated subnets across availability zones
  • Security Groups: Define inbound/outbound traffic rules and network access controls
  • Internet Gateways: Configure internet connectivity and routing
  • Route Tables: Manage routing between subnets and external networks
  • Network ACLs: Set up stateless network access control lists
  • NAT Gateways: Enable private subnet internet access for updates and external APIs
  • VPC Endpoints: Create private connections to AWS services without internet gateways
Steps:
  1. Ensure AWS provider is added: monk cluster provider add -p aws
  2. monk update <namespace>/<name>

​
Auth

  • Uses AWS provider credentials configured via monk cluster provider add -p aws

​
Getting Started

  1. Ensure AWS provider is added:
monk cluster provider add -p aws
  1. Define networking primitives (save as ec2.yaml):
namespace: aws-ec2-examples

vpc:
  defines: aws-ec2/vpc
  region: us-east-1
  cidr_block: 10.1.0.0/16

subnet:
  defines: aws-ec2/subnet
  region: us-east-1
  vpc_id: \<- connection-target("vpc") entity-state get-member("vpc_id")
  cidr_block: 10.1.1.0/24

sg:
  defines: aws-ec2/security-group
  region: us-east-1
  vpc_id: \<- connection-target("vpc") entity-state get-member("vpc_id")
  group_name: demo-sg
  description: Demo security group
  1. Create/update:
monk update aws-ec2-examples/vpc
monk update aws-ec2-examples/subnet
monk update aws-ec2-examples/sg
