An ECS Instance with a Key Pair, No Public Address, IMDSv2 and an Encrypted Disk
An ECS instance in your vSwitch with login by key pair and no password, no public address unless bandwidth above zero is accepted by name, the system disk encrypted with your KMS key (the service key by name), the metadata service on IMDSv2 only with a hop limit of one, the Security Center agent on, and deletion protection. Pay-as-you-go.

Documentation
alicloud-ecs-instance
An ECS instance with a key pair, no public address, an encrypted
system disk, IMDSv2 only, and deletion protection. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), alicloud provider >= 1.0, < 2.0.
No password, no public address; a public address by name.
The metadata service answers anyone on the box by default; IMDSv2 only here.
The system disk is encrypted with your key; the service key by name.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

alicloud-image
An Alibaba Cloud custom image captured from an ECS instance into an image family, so instances and scaling groups that name the family get the newest image (no family has to be accepted by name). The snapshots the capture created are deleted with the image. Build the source clean and stop it first.
tencent-cvm-instance
A CVM instance in your subnet with login by key pair and no password, ordered security groups, no public address (one by name), the system disk encrypted with your KMS key (the service key by name), the Cloud Workload Protection and Cloud Monitor agents left on, a CAM role when you name one, and API termination refused. Pay-as-you-go by the hour.
aws-lightsail-instance
A Lightsail instance is created with 22 and 80 open to every address; its public address changes when it stops unless a static IP is attached, and every DNS record pointing at it is then wrong; and automatic snapshots are off. The port list replaced by your rules with SSH from anywhere accepted by name, a static IP attached, and the daily AutoSnapshot add-on on at the hour you choose.
scaleway-instance
A Scaleway instance on a Private Network with a required security group (the project default allows everything inbound), no public address unless a flexible IP is accepted by name, the project's SSH keys and no password, a Block Storage root volume deleted with the instance, cloud-init, and protection from deletion (off by name).
ibm-vsi-instance
A VPC virtual server in your subnet with the SSH keys you name and no password, security groups on the primary interface, no floating IP, the boot volume encrypted with a Key Protect key (IBM's key by name), secure boot on, and the metadata service on so a trusted profile can be the instance identity instead of a stored API key.
huawei-ecs-instance
An ECS instance in your subnet with login by key pair and no password, no elastic IP unless one is accepted by name, the system disk encrypted with your KMS key (the platform key by name), an IAM agency as its identity so code on it needs no stored access key (none by name), the Cloud Eye agent on, and the instance stopped before destroy with its disks. Pay-per-use.
