Deploy VPC architecture and Microsoft Active Directory domain controllers
To increase efficiency and standardize common tasks, you might choose to automate deployments. This is useful if you regularly deploy the same architecture across multiple accounts and AWS Regions. Automating architecture deployments can also reduce the potential for human error that can occur when deploying architecture manually. AWS Systems Manager Automation actions can help you accomplish this. Automation is a capability of AWS Systems Manager.
The following example AWS Systems Manager runbook performs these actions:
-
Retrieves the latest Windows Server 2016 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) using Systems Manager Parameter Store to use when launching the EC2 instances that will be configured as domain controllers. Parameter Store is a capability of AWS Systems Manager.
-
Uses the
aws:executeAwsApiautomation action to call several AWS API operations to create the VPC architecture. The domain controller instances are launched in private subnets, and connect to the internet using a NAT gateway. This allows the SSM Agent on the instances to access the requisite Systems Manager endpoints. -
Uses the
aws:waitForAwsResourcePropertyautomation action to confirm the instances launched by the previous action areOnlinefor AWS Systems Manager. -
Uses the
aws:runCommandautomation action to configure the instances launched as Microsoft Active Directory domain controllers.
