# AWS CloudFormation EC2 Infrastructure
## Overview
Create production-ready EC2 infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates. Covers EC2 instances (On-Demand and SPOT), Security Groups, IAM roles, Application Load Balancers (ALB), template structure, parameters, outputs, and cross-stack references.
## When to Use
- Creating EC2 instances (On-Demand or SPOT) with Security Groups and IAM roles
- Setting up Application Load Balancers with target groups
- Implementing template Parameters, Mappings, Conditions, and cross-stack references
## Instructions
### Step 1 — Define Template Parameters
Use AWS-specific parameter types for validation and console dropdowns.
```yaml
Parameters:
LatestAmiId:
Type: AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<AWS::EC2::Image::Id>
Default: /aws/service/ami-amazon-linux-latest/amzn2-ami-hvm-x86_64-gp2
InstanceType:
Type: AWS::EC2::InstanceType
Default: t3.micro
AllowedValues: [t3.micro, t3.small, t3.medium]
KeyName:
Type: AWS::EC2::KeyPair::KeyName
```
See [template-structure.md](references/template-structure.md) for advanced parameter patterns, mappings, conditions, and cross-stack references.
### Step 2 — Create Security Group
Define ingress/egress rules for network access.
```yaml
InstanceSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
GroupDescription: Security group for EC2 instance
VpcId: !Ref VpcId
SecurityGroupIngress:
- IpProtocol: tcp
FromPort: 80
ToPort: 80
CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
- IpProtocol: tcp
FromPort: 22
ToPort: 22
CidrIp: 10.0.0.0/16
```
See [security-iam.md](references/security-iam.md) for advanced security group patterns, self-references, and IAM roles.
### Step 3 — Configure IAM Role
Define instance profile with least privilege permissions.
```yaml
Ec2Role:
Type: AWS::IAM::Role
Properties:
AssumeRolePolicyDocument:
Version: "2012-10-17"
Statement:
- Effect: Allow
Principal:
Service: ec2.amazonaws.com
Action: sts:AssumeRole
ManagedPolicyArns:
- arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore
Ec2InstanceProfile:
Type: AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile
Properties:
Roles: [!Ref Ec2Role]
```
See [security-iam.md](references/security-iam.md) for least privilege policies, SSM roles, and trust policies.
### Step 4 — Launch EC2 Instance
Configure instance with security group, IAM role, and user data.
```yaml
Ec2Instance:
Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
Properties:
ImageId: !Ref LatestAmiId
InstanceType: !Ref InstanceType
KeyName: !Ref KeyName
SecurityGroupIds: [!Ref InstanceSecurityGroup]
IamInstanceProfile: !Ref Ec2InstanceProfile
SubnetId: !Ref SubnetId
UserData:
Fn::Base64: |
#!/bin/bash
yum update -y
yum install -y httpd
systemctl start httpd
Tags:
- Key: Name
Value: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-instance
```
See [ec2-instances.md](references/ec2-instances.md) for multi-volume configurations, detailed monitoring, SPOT instances, and complete stack examples.
**Validate template:** `aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://template.yaml`
### Step 5 — Add Application Load Balancer
Create ALB with target group and listener for traffic distribution.
```yaml
ApplicationLoadBalancer:
Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer
Properties:
Name: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-alb
Scheme: internet-facing
SecurityGroups: [!Ref AlbSecurityGroup]
Subnets: [!Ref PublicSubnet1, !Ref PublicSubnet2]
ApplicationTargetGroup:
Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup
Properties:
Port: 80
Protocol: HTTP
VpcId: !Ref VpcId
HealthCheckPath: /health
ApplicationListener:
Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener
Properties:
DefaultActions:
- Type: forward
TargetGroupArn: !Ref ApplicationTargetGroup
LoadBalancerArn: !Ref ApplicationLoadBalancer
Port: 80
Protocol: HTTP
```
See [load-balancers.md](references/load-balancers.md) for HTTPS configuration, path-based routing, host-based routing, listener rules, and ALB attributes.
### Step 6 — Define Outputs
Export values for cross-stack references.
```yaml
Outputs:
InstanceId:
Description: EC2 Instance ID
Value: !Ref Ec2Instance
Export:
Name: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-InstanceId
SecurityGroupId:
Description: Security Group ID
Value: !Ref InstanceSecurityGroup
Export:
Name: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-SecurityGroupId
LoadBalancerDnsName:
Description: ALB DNS Name
Value: !GetAtt ApplicationLoadBalancer.DNSName
```
See [template-structure.md](references/template-structure.md) for cross-stack reference patterns and import/export strategies.
## Examples
### Minimal EC2 with ALB Template
```yaml
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: "2010-09-09"
Description: EC2 instance with ALB
Parameters:
LatestAmiId:
Type: AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<AWS::EC2::Image::Id>
Default: /aws/service/ami-amazon-linux-latest/amzn2-ami-hvm-x86_64-gp2
InstanceType:
Type: AWS::EC2::InstanceType
Default: t3.micro
Resources:
InstanceSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
GroupDescription: Enable HTTP and SSH
SecurityGroupIngress:
- IpProtocol: tcp
FromPort: 80
ToPort: 80
CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
Ec2Instance:
Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
Properties:
ImageId: !Ref LatestAmiId
InstanceType: !Ref InstanceType
SecurityGroupIds: [!Ref InstanceSecurityGroup]
LoadBalancer:
Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer
Properties:
Scheme: internet-facing
SecurityGroups: [!Ref InstanceSecurityGroup]
Subnets: [subnet-12345678, subnet-87654321]
Outputs:
InstanceId:
Value: !Ref Ec2Instance
LoadBalancerDns:
Value: !GetAtt LoadBalancer.DNSName
```
### Deploy with Change Set
```bash
# Create change set
aws cloudformation create-change-set \
--stack-name my-ec2-stack \
--template-body file://template.yaml \
--change-set-type CREATE
# Execute after review
aws cloudformation execute-change-set \
--change-set-name <change-set-name>
```
See [examples.md](references/examples.md) for complete production-ready templates.
## Best Practices
### Template Structure
- **Use AWS-specific parameter types** for validation (`AWS::EC2::VPC::Id`, `AWS::EC2::InstanceType`)
- **Organize by lifecycle** - separate network, security, and application stacks
- **Use meaningful names** with `AWS::StackName` prefix
- **Enable termination protection** on production stacks
### Security
- **Apply least privilege** to IAM roles - grant minimum required permissions
- **Use security group references** instead of IP addresses where possible
- **Enable IMDSv2** on all EC2 instances
- **Restrict security group rules** to specific CIDR blocks
### Cost & Availability
- **Use SPOT instances** for fault-tolerant, interruptible workloads
- **Deploy across multiple AZs** for high availability
- **Set up CloudWatch alarms** for CPU and status checks
- **Use EBS gp3 volumes** for cost-effective storage
### Operations
- **Always use change sets** for production stack updates
- **Enable drift detection** to maintain template compliance
- **Apply stack policies** to protect critical resources
- **Validate templates** before deployment with `aws cloudformation validate-template`
See [best-practices.md](references/best-practices.md) for detailed guidance on stack policies, termination protection, drift detection, change set automation, and validation scripts.

## Constraints and Warnings
### Resource Limits
- Maximum 500 resources per CloudFormation stack
- Maximum 500 security groups per VPC
- Instance types vary by region/A availability
### Cost Considerations
- EC2 instances incur costs while running
- EBS volumes charged per GB-month even when not attached
- ALBs have hourly + LCU data processing costs
- Unattached Elastic IPs incur hourly costs
### Security Considerations
- Key pairs cannot be recovered if lost
- Instance profile roles cannot be changed after creation
- IMDSv1 has security vulnerabilities - use IMDSv2
- Spot instances can be terminated with 2-minute notice
See [constraints.md](references/constraints.md) for complete constraints, troubleshooting guides, and monitoring setup.
