kitchen-ec2

The kitchen-ec2 driver provisions instances on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). This driver ships with Chef Workstation. Provide AWS credentials through the standard AWS SDK credential chain—environment variables, shared credential files, or an IAM instance profile—rather than storing them in the kitchen.yml file.

Example kitchen.yml

The following example sets ec2 as the driver in a kitchen.yml file:

driver:
  name: ec2
  region: us-east-1
  instance_type: t3.medium

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-22.04

Configuration

The kitchen-ec2 driver provides configuration options that you set in the driver section of your kitchen.yml file, either globally or for an individual platform. For the complete and current list of settings, see the kitchen-ec2 repository.
