Auto Enroll Your Servers to JumpCloud - Linux Servers

[shawnsong]

Hi Folks,

Last week I posted a Terraform script to auto-deploy JumpCloud agent on the Windows servers, and it's only fair we spread the same love to Linux, right? 😉

Prerequisites

TL;DL -  Check out the new code in my repo.

• Ensure you have the latest version of Terraform installed. 
• Setup Use profile based auth for the AWS Cli. If you're yet to configure JumpCloud SSO for AWS to facilitate this scenario,I highly recommend checking out this guide.

Outcome

I have tested the script on 3 of the most common distros: Ubuntu 22.04, REHL and AmazonLinux2, and they all worked perfectly. Feel free to pick a distro or add others in var.tf (starting at line 2).  Here is the list of JumpCloud support distro. 

Once you have fired up the instance, the output looks like this:

Hostnames

Although I have pre-set the hostnames for these Linux instances (and they don't require reboot 😀), but you might have your own standard to follow - feel free to modify line 28 in "linux.tf". Or you can follow this guide to rename the device retrospectively via JumpCloud Command.

Enjoy!
