AWS AMI Snapshot Module for Persistent Workspace State (#219)
## Description This PR implements AMI-based snapshots for Coder workspaces on AWS, enabling persistent state across workspace stop/start cycles. Users can now create snapshots of their workspace state when stopping and restore from selected snapshots when starting workspaces. **Solves GitHub Issue #26** - AWS Snapshot functionality for persistent workspace state. ## Type of Change - [x] New module - [ ] Bug fix - [x] Feature/enhancement - [x] Documentation - [ ] Other ## Module Information **Path:** `registry/mavrickrishi/modules/aws-ami-snapshot` **New version:** `v1.0.0` **Breaking change:** [ ] Yes [x] No ## Implementation Details ### All Requirements from Issue #26 Implemented: ✅ **Requirement 1: Create AMI snapshots on workspace stop** - Uses `aws_ami_from_instance` resource triggered by `coder_workspace.me.transition == "stop"` - Snapshots created without reboot for graceful handling ✅ **Requirement 2: Tag AMIs with workspace metadata** - Tags include: workspace owner, name, template, creation timestamp - Comprehensive tagging for organization and filtering ✅ **Requirement 3: User parameters for snapshot control** - `enable_snapshots` - Toggle snapshot creation (default: true) - `snapshot_label` - Custom label for snapshots (optional) - `use_previous_snapshot` - Dropdown to select from available snapshots ✅ **Requirement 4: Retrieve available snapshots** - Uses `aws_ami_ids` data source with Coder-specific tag filters - Formats snapshot metadata for selection dropdown ✅ **Requirement 5: Modify instance creation** - `local.ami_id` variable selects user snapshot or default AMI - Dynamic AMI selection logic implemented - `lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ami] }` prevents Terraform conflicts ✅ **Requirement 6: Optional cleanup** - `aws_dlm_lifecycle_policy` for snapshot retention management - Configurable retention periods and counts - Cost control through deprecation time ✅ **Requirement 7: Key considerations** - IAM permissions documented - Graceful workspace stop handling - Cost control implementation - Proper tagging for organization ## Testing & Validation ### Comprehensive Test Suite Created comprehensive test script that validates **ALL** requirements from issue #26: <details> <summary>🔧 Comprehensive Test Script (Click to expand)</summary> ```bash #!/bin/bash # Comprehensive test for AWS AMI Snapshot module # Tests EVERY requirement from GitHub issue #26 set -e echo "🎯 COMPREHENSIVE TEST: AWS AMI Snapshot Module" echo "Testing ALL requirements from issue #26" echo "==============================================" echo "" # Test variables TEST_WORKSPACE="test-workspace-$(date +%s)" TEST_OWNER="test-owner" TEST_TEMPLATE="comprehensive-test" REGION="${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION:-us-east-1}" echo "📋 Test Configuration:" echo " Account: $(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)" echo " Region: $REGION" echo " Workspace: $TEST_WORKSPACE" echo " Owner: $TEST_OWNER" echo " Template: $TEST_TEMPLATE" echo "" # ===== REQUIREMENT 1: Create AMI snapshots on workspace stop ===== echo "🔍 REQUIREMENT 1: AMI Snapshots on Workspace Stop" echo "==================================================" # Create test infrastructure cat > test-comprehensive.tf << EOF terraform { required_providers { aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws", version = "~> 5.0" } coder = { source = "coder/coder", version = ">= 0.17" } } } provider "aws" { region = "$REGION" } provider "coder" {} data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true owners = ["099720109477"] filter { name = "name" values = ["ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-jammy-22.04-amd64-server-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "test" { ami = module.ami_snapshot.ami_id instance_type = "t3.micro" tags = { Name = "comprehensive-test" } lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ami] } } module "ami_snapshot" { source = "./registry/mavrickrishi/modules/aws-ami-snapshot" instance_id = aws_instance.test.id default_ami_id = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id template_name = "$TEST_TEMPLATE" # Test optional cleanup features enable_dlm_cleanup = false snapshot_retention_count = 5 tags = { Environment = "test" TestType = "comprehensive" } } output "instance_id" { value = aws_instance.test.id } output "ami_id" { value = module.ami_snapshot.ami_id } output "is_using_snapshot" { value = module.ami_snapshot.is_using_snapshot } output "available_snapshots" { value = module.ami_snapshot.available_snapshots } output "snapshot_info" { value = module.ami_snapshot.snapshot_info } EOF echo "✅ Test 1.1: aws_ami_from_instance resource exists in module" echo " 💻 Running: grep aws_ami_from_instance registry/mavrickrishi/modules/aws-ami-snapshot/main.tf" grep -q "aws_ami_from_instance" registry/mavrickrishi/modules/aws-ami-snapshot/main.tf && echo " ✅ Found aws_ami_from_instance resource" echo "✅ Test 1.2: Triggered by coder_workspace.me.transition == 'stop'" echo " 💻 Running: grep 'coder_workspace.me.transition == \"stop\"' main.tf" grep -q 'coder_workspace.me.transition == "stop"' registry/mavrickrishi/modules/aws-ami-snapshot/main.tf && echo " ✅ Found stop transition trigger" echo "✅ Test 1.3: Deploy test infrastructure" echo " 🔧 Initializing Terraform..." echo " 💻 Running: terraform init" terraform init echo "" echo " 🚀 Applying Terraform configuration..." echo " 💻 Running: terraform apply -auto-approve" terraform apply -auto-approve echo "" INSTANCE_ID=$(terraform output -raw instance_id) echo " ✅ Created test instance: $INSTANCE_ID" echo "" echo " 📊 Initial module outputs:" echo " 💻 Running: terraform output" terraform output # ===== REQUIREMENT 2: Tag AMIs with workspace metadata ===== echo "" echo "🔍 REQUIREMENT 2: AMI Tagging with Workspace Metadata" echo "=====================================================" echo "✅ Test 2.1: Create AMI with proper tags (simulating workspace stop)" echo " 💻 Running: aws ec2 create-image --instance-id $INSTANCE_ID ..."

# AWS AMI Snapshot Module
10+
11+
This module provides AMI-based snapshot functionality for Coder workspaces running on AWS EC2 instances. It enables users to create snapshots when workspaces are stopped and restore from previous snapshots when starting workspaces.
12+
13+
```tf
14+
module "ami_snapshot" {
15+
source = "registry.coder.com/mavrickrishi/aws-ami-snapshot/coder"
16+
version = "1.0.0"
17+
18+
instance_id = aws_instance.workspace.id
19+
default_ami_id = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
20+
template_name = "aws-linux"
21+
}
22+
```
23+
24+
## Features
25+
26+
- **Automatic Snapshots**: Create AMI snapshots when workspaces are stopped
27+
- **User Control**: Enable/disable snapshot functionality per workspace
28+
- **Custom Labels**: Add custom labels to snapshots for easy identification
29+
- **Snapshot Selection**: Choose from available snapshots when starting workspaces
30+
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Optional Data Lifecycle Manager integration for automated cleanup
31+
- **Workspace Isolation**: Snapshots are tagged and filtered by workspace and owner
32+
33+
## Parameters
34+
35+
The module exposes the following parameters to workspace users:
36+
37+
- `enable_snapshots`: Enable/disable AMI snapshot creation (default: true)
38+
- `snapshot_label`: Custom label for the snapshot (optional)
39+
- `use_previous_snapshot`: Select a previous snapshot to restore from (default: none)
40+
41+
## Usage
42+
43+
### Basic Usage
44+
45+
```hcl
46+
module "ami_snapshot" {
47+
source = "registry.coder.com/modules/aws-ami-snapshot"
48+
49+
instance_id = aws_instance.workspace.id
50+
default_ami_id = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
51+
template_name = "aws-linux"
52+
}
53+
54+
resource "aws_instance" "workspace" {
55+
ami = module.ami_snapshot.ami_id
56+
instance_type = "t3.micro"
57+
58+
# Prevent Terraform from recreating instance when AMI changes
59+
lifecycle {
60+
ignore_changes = [ami]
61+
}
62+
}
63+
```
64+
65+
### With Optional Cleanup
66+
67+
```hcl
68+
module "ami_snapshot" {
69+
source = "registry.coder.com/modules/aws-ami-snapshot"
70+
71+
instance_id = aws_instance.workspace.id
72+
default_ami_id = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
73+
template_name = "aws-linux"
74+
enable_dlm_cleanup = true
75+
dlm_role_arn = aws_iam_role.dlm_lifecycle_role.arn
76+
snapshot_retention_count = 5
77+
78+
tags = {
79+
Environment = "development"
80+
Project = "my-project"
81+
}
82+
}
83+
```
84+
85+
### IAM Role for DLM (Optional)
86+
87+
If using automatic cleanup, create an IAM role for Data Lifecycle Manager:
88+
89+
```hcl
90+
resource "aws_iam_role" "dlm_lifecycle_role" {
91+
name = "dlm-lifecycle-role"
92+
93+
assume_role_policy = jsonencode({
94+
Version = "2012-10-17"
95+
Statement = [
96+
{
97+
Action = "sts:AssumeRole"
98+
Effect = "Allow"
99+
Principal = {
100+
Service = "dlm.amazonaws.com"
101+
}
102+
}
103+
]
104+
})
105+
}
106+
107+
resource "aws_iam_role_policy_attachment" "dlm_lifecycle" {
108+
role = aws_iam_role.dlm_lifecycle_role.name
109+
policy_arn = "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AWSDataLifecycleManagerServiceRole"
110+
}
111+
```
112+
113+
## Required IAM Permissions
114+
115+
Users need the following IAM permissions for full functionality:
116+
117+
```json
118+
{
119+
"Version": "2012-10-17",
120+

151+
## How It Works
152+
153+
1. **Snapshot Creation**: When a workspace transitions to "stop", an AMI snapshot is automatically created (if enabled)
154+
2. **Tagging**: Snapshots are tagged with workspace name, owner, template, and custom labels
155+
3. **Snapshot Retrieval**: Available snapshots are retrieved and presented as options for workspace start
156+
4. **AMI Selection**: The module outputs the appropriate AMI ID (default or selected snapshot)
157+
5. **Cleanup**: Optional DLM policies can automatically clean up old snapshots
158+
159+
## Considerations
160+
161+
- **Cost**: AMI snapshots incur storage costs. Use cleanup policies to manage costs
162+
- **Time**: AMI creation takes time; workspace stop operations may take longer
163+
- **Permissions**: Ensure proper IAM permissions for AMI creation and management
164+
- **Region**: Snapshots are region-specific and cannot be used across regions
165+
- **Lifecycle**: Use `ignore_changes = [ami]` on EC2 instances to prevent conflicts
166+
167+
