A Lightsail Instance with a Firewall that Names Its Sources, a Static IP and Snapshots

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.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Virtual Machines on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.

Installing it

module "aws_lightsail_instance" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/aws-lightsail-instance/aws"
  version = "1.0.0"
}

A registry token is required for the download itself. Installing through the registry protocol has the two credential steps.
