Hi, I followed instructions at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetl... to start playing with Puppet enterprise and AWS. I ran all setup in my home user directory, I have .Puppet,

I cd to /home/myuser/.puppet/modules/aws

, created a pp file based on the "Getting Started with aws" as follows

ec2_instance { 'instance-ByPuppet':
  ensure        => present,
  region        => 'us-west-2',
  security_groups   => 'gh-mysecgr',
  image_id      => 'ami-e7527ed7', # you need to select your own AMI
  instance_type => 't1.micro',
}

When I run

puppet apply tests/createAMI.pp --test

I get

Notice: Compiled catalog for pemaster in environment production in 0.07 seconds Info: Applying configuration version '1430499881' Error: Could not find a suitable provider for ec2_instance Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.24 seconds

So, my understanding that this should spin a new VM in AWS, I don't need to create a VM in order this to work, am I correct? Thanks ina advance

You very likely don't have the required gems installed, or the wrong method was used to install them. Double-check the documentation here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-aws#requirements

If you've already installed those gems correctly, please post back here for further assistance.

UPDATE:

If you are using Puppet Enterprise or PE with Puppet Server, you need to make sure the install the gems properly. The instructions from the README are:

If you're running Puppet Enterprise, install both the gems with this command:

/opt/puppet/bin/gem install aws-sdk-core retries

This allows the gems to be used by the Puppet Enterprise Ruby.

If you're running Puppet Server, you need to make both gems available to JRuby with:

/opt/puppet/bin/puppetserver gem install aws-sdk-core retries

Once the gems are installed, restart Puppet Server.

Sorry, I saw that after I answered above. :) I searched for some ideas about that error, but I haven't seen any so far.

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install aws-sdk-core retries

Is the right command for 2015.3 PE.

I keep getting error "Could not find a suitable provider for ec2_instance" while running a manifest file to create ec2 instance from puppet Enterprise 2016.1 . Installed version are Ruby - ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) puppet - 4.4.1 puppetlabs-aws (v1.4.0) I installed aws module using "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# gem install aws-sdk-core retries". Everything seems correct configuration, still keep getting the same error. I followed the suggestions given in similar threads but it is not helping Please advise.

Dear Greg, I followed the requirements as follows as I have the puppet enterprise

gem install aws-sdk-core retries

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=my_key_id
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=my_secret_access_key

export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

did

puppet module install puppetlabs-aws

Then restarted the puppet server

My gem is 2.0.14

Do you think I missed something?

Yes, you may have installed them incorrectly. Based on the command that you posted above, that's the way to install the gems for open-source Puppet, not Puppet Enterprise. I have updated my answer with the instructions from the README for installing the gems into PE.

Greg, it seems that I missed the step for the puppetserver command, I did as follows [salam@pemaster bin]$ sudo /opt/puppet/bin/puppetserver gem install aws-sdk-core retries Fetching: multi_json-1.11.0.gem (100%) Successfully installed multi_json-1.11.0. Fetching: builder

However, running "puppet apply /home/salam/.puppet/modules/aws/tests/createAMI.pp --test" gave the exact same error Notice: Compiled catalog for pemaster in environment production in 0.17 seconds
