     6    The `remote-exec` provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the `local-exec` provisioner instead. The `remote-exec` provisioner supports both `ssh` and `winrm` type connections.

    10  
    11  The `remote-exec` provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it
    12  is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap
    13  into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the `local-exec`
    14  [provisioner](/docs/provisioners/local-exec.html) instead. The `remote-exec`
    15  provisioner supports both `ssh` and `winrm` type [connections](/docs/provisioners/connection.html).
    16  
    17  
    18  ## Example usage
    19  
    20  ```
    21  # Run puppet and join our Consul cluster
    22  resource "aws_instance" "web" {
    23      ...
    24      provisioner "remote-exec" {
    25          inline = [
    26          "puppet apply",
    27          "consul join ${aws_instance.web.private_ip}"
    28          ]
    29      }
    30  }
    31  ```
    32  
    33  ## Argument Reference
    34  
    35  The following arguments are supported:
    36  
    37  * `inline` - This is a list of command strings. They are executed in the order
    38    they are provided. This cannot be provided with `script` or `scripts`.
    39  
    40  * `script` - This is a path (relative or absolute) to a local script that will
    41    be copied to the remote resource and then executed. This cannot be provided
    42    with `inline` or `scripts`.
    43  
    44  * `scripts` - This is a list of paths (relative or absolute) to local scripts
    45    that will be copied to the remote resource and then executed. They are executed
    46    in the order they are provided. This cannot be provided with `inline` or `script`.
    47  
    48  ## Script Arguments
    49  
    50  You cannot pass any arguments to scripts using the `script` or
    51  `scripts` arguments to this provisioner. If you want to specify arguments,
    52  upload the script with the
    53  [file provisioner](/docs/provisioners/file.html)
    54  and then use `inline` to call it. Example:
    55  
    56  ```
    57  resource "aws_instance" "web" {
    58      ...
    59  
    60      provisioner "file" {
    61          source = "script.sh"
    62          destination = "/tmp/script.sh"
    63      }
    64  
    65      provisioner "remote-exec" {
    66          inline = ["/tmp/script.sh args"]
    67      }
    68  }
    69  ```
