I’ve recently had to work on services which require to be installed on Windows, and because of this using a container was out of the question. It was part of a migration which due to time constraints required lifting and shifting the machines rather than spending time automating and getting it right.

The idea was to use EC2 in combination with an autoscaling group, to allow an almost always running service, which would automatically recover if terminated either by ourselves, or AWS.

Once I had my AMI of my image, it was time to start writing terraform to manage the infrastructure.

I now need to create the autoscaling group to allow instantiating the instance and maintaining it at 1 running instance.
