I would like to launch an EC2 instance without key pair with my Terraform configuration. I could not find any info on internet which indicates usage of "no keypair" in Terraform. Anyone who have configured Terraform to be used this way?

Here's Terraform script that makes an EC2 instance of type t2.micro without a key and output its IP address.

terraform.tf:

provider "aws" {
  profile = "default"
  region  = "us-west-2"
}

variable "instance_type" {
 default = "t2.micro"
}

resource "aws_instance" "ec2_instance" {
 ami = "ami-0d1cd67c26f5fca19"
 instance_type = "var.instance_type"
}

output "ip" {
 value = "aws_instance.ec2_instance.public_ip"
}

Put it on a dir and run it by using this command terraform apply. You can use terraform plan for testing it.

Note: Don't forget to add your access_key and secret_key to your local aws configuration (aws configure) in order for it to work. You can also use aws-vault to avoid mistakenly exposing your credentials.
