'terraform attach root EBS volume which is generated from a snapshot to an EC2 instance created from AMI
I have the following code where I am trying to spin up an instance from an AMI and then replace the root volume with a volume I created from an earlier backup snapshot since we do not have periodic AMI created but we do create periodic snapshot. But it failing with error
Error: Error attaching volume (vol-klsdfjlskdf) to instance (i-kjsdhfdsl), message: "Invalid value '/dev/xvda' for unixDevice. Attachment point /dev/xvda is already in use", code: "InvalidParameterValue"
My terraform code is below
resource "aws_instance" "sampleinstance" {
ami = "ami-089c6f2e386612345"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
key_name = "blabla"
subnet_id = "subnet-65812345"
private_ip = "177.78.98.98"
vpc_security_group_ids = ["sg-0e5a15e71234567"]
tags = {
"Name" = "aip poc instance"
}
}
data "aws_ebs_snapshot" "ebs_volume" {
most_recent = true
owners = ["self"]
filter {
name = "tag:Name"
values = ["poc"]
}
}
resource "aws_volume_attachment" "this" {
device_name = "/dev/xvda"
volume_id = aws_ebs_volume.myvol.id
instance_id = aws_instance.aipsampleinstance.id
}
resource "aws_ebs_volume" "myvol" {
availability_zone = "us-east-2c"
size = 8
snapshot_id = data.aws_ebs_snapshot.ebs_volume.id
tags = {
"Name" = "poc"
}
}
