Automated EC2 Launch and Notification Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of launching AWS EC2 instances based on requests scheduled or triggered via Google Sheets. It streamlines cloud deployment, provides real-time updates, and sends detailed email notifications. The workflow begins with a scheduled or manual trigger, extracting launch requests from a Google Sheets document. It then connects to a remote server via SSH to run Terraform commands, provisioning new EC2 instances on AWS. Once the instance is launched, the workflow updates the Google Sheets record with instance details like IP address, ID, and status. Finally, it sends a comprehensive email notification to the requester, containing all relevant launch information and a link to the AWS Console for quick access. This automation is ideal for teams managing multiple EC2 deployments, ensuring consistency, reducing manual effort, and improving communication.
