I have been trying to start a Windows guest in AWS EC2, and can't figure
out how to get the password in the Vagrantfile.
With Linux, I see this is used :
override.ssh.private_key_path = "test-ec2-1.pem"
But this doesn't seem to work for Windows guests in AWS EC2. I think it is
because it uses WinRm, not SSH. How can I get the password passed into the
Vagrantfile ?
I see messages like this when I do : vagrant up --provider=aws --debug :
DEBUG winrmshell: initializing WinRMShell
DEBUG winrmshell: powershell executing:
hostname
if ($?) { exit 0 } else { if($LASTEXITCODE) { exit $LASTEXITCODE } else {
exit 1 } }
INFO winrmshell: Attempting to connect to WinRM...
INFO winrmshell: - Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (masked)
INFO winrmshell: - Port: 5985
INFO winrmshell: - Username: Administrator
INFO retryable: Retryable exception raised:
#<WinRM::WinRMHTTPTransportError: Bad HTTP response returned from server
(401).>
My Vagrantfile:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "dummy"
config.vm.box_url =
"https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/raw/master/dummy.box";
config.vm.communicator = "winrm"
config.winrm.username = "Administrator"
config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
aws.access_key_id = ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
aws.secret_access_key = ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
aws.keypair_name = ENV['AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME']
aws.ami = "ami-e189c8d1"
aws.security_groups = [ 'vagrant' ]
aws.region = "us-west-2"
aws.instance_type = "t2.micro"
end
end
To get the password, I use the AWS console and Right Click a running
Instance and click Get Password. Than I need to give it my .pem file and it
gives me the cryptic password I can use to RDP into the instance. I would
like a way to use the .pem file in my Vagrantfile. Or maybe there is
another way?
Thank you!
