Today we are going to deploy Snipe-IT on AWS EC2 CentOS7 using Terraform

In this terraform,  we will use existing AWS Security Groups, VPC & Network segments along with EC2 SSH Key.

Please modify region, bucketname, ami-id, key_name, private subnetid, vpc id. (you can collect all this information from your existing AWS console)

Remove the line and paste your ssh key pem content.

Replace the line number 8 value with your Security group name.

If anyone like to create new Security group, please post your requirements in comment box, I will update my script.

All done, no changes required in variables.tf file.

Type below command to initialize terraform.

Type below command to validate your terraform script if any errors or not.

Once the deployment is completed successfully, try to access snipe it using http://yourprivateip

Let's deploy SnipeIT on AWS EC2 CentOS7 using Terraform.

How to Deploy SnipeIT on AWS using Terraform

Snipe-IT is an open-source cloud-based software for IT assets management. This software offers an SLA uptime guarantee of 99.99%. Snipe-IT provides the ability to track licenses, hardware assets, consumables, and accessories. Snipe-IT offers speed and reliability with servers located in multiple locations around the globe. Currently, their servers are located in Oregon, N. Virginia, Sao Paulo, Ireland, Frankfurt, Singapore, and Sydney. Snipe-IT is offered in a free version and a hosted version. You can deploy the same software regardless if it is self-hosted or through paid hosting. However, with the paid version, users don’t need to worry about maintenance, upgrades, and security. Snipe-IT supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It can be integrated with optical scanners such as barcode and QR code readers, as well as LDAP and Active Directory. Snipe-IT also supports two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator.

The main benefits of Snipe-IT are easy asset management, handling of user permissions, and secured user accounts and access.

Snipe-IT is an open-source, cloud-based asset tracking software that enables businesses to manage their IT assets more efficiently. The benefits of using Snipe-IT are discussed below: 

Snipe-IT allows for easy asset management. Users can view which assets are assigned, to whom they were assigned, and where they are physically located. 

With just one click, you can check the assets back into the inventory or just click through to see its complete history. Custom status labels, on the other hand, lets users indicate whether an asset is undeployable, deployable, archived, pending, or any status that is appropriate.

Handle super admin to granular permissions

Snipe-IT also provides user management functionality. This allows granting of user access to reports and requests with every user profile showing complete activity details.

There are two privileged user account tiers in Snipe-IT: admin and super admin. There are also granular permissions that can be granted to other users.

Snipe-IT software provides users with options to secure user accounts and access including two-factor authentications, one-way password hashing, encrypted fields, option to enforce HTTPS-only cookies, and more.

Easily see which assets are assigned, to whom, and their physical location. Check them back into inventory with one click, or click through to see the asset's complete history. Seeing what assets are currently deployed, pending (brand new awaiting software installs, out for repair), ready to deploy, or archived (lost/stolen, or broken) is quick and easy.

Add your own custom fields for additional asset attributes

Generate QR code labels for easy mobile access and labels

Assets marked as requestable can be requested by a user

Assets retain full history including checkouts, checkins and maintenance

Optional digital signatures on asset acceptan

Mobile-friendly for asset updates on the go

Web-based software so it works on any device

Slack notification integration for checkin/checkout

Translated into several languages for easy localization

Two-Factor authentication (with Google Authenticator)

Grant users access to reports, or even let them request assets that are available. Perfect for loaning out test devices. Each user profile shows their compelete history including assets, accessories, consumables and licenses.

Import/Login through Active Directory/LDAP

Bulk user actions to make management easy

Assignable user roles offer different levels of access

Easily generate strong passwords through the UI

There are lots of reasons why an asset may be undeployable or archived. They may be out for repair, out for diagnostics, lost or stolen, or flat-out busted. You have complete control over the labels you create for assets.

End-User EULAs/Terms of Service on Checkout

Reminding your users that they are responsible for the assets you give them can reduce repairs and “lost” assets by 20% or more. Snipe-IT lets you require a user to confirm acceptance of your EULA and receipt of the asset. You can use a default EULA for your entire organization, or different EULAs based on asset category. EULAs support Github-flavored markdown.

You get the same quick access with licenses, too. We’re working on making this even better, by letting you smartly handle multi-pack licenses with ease. Enable email alerts to get an email when your licenses are expiring. 

Some things are important to track, but may not warrant their own asset tags and labels. Accessories let you track things like keyboards and computer mice so you know how many you have on-hand, and who has the ones that have been given out. Items like printer ink and copier paper all add up, and it's inconvenient to run out. Track your consumables using Snipe-IT, too!
