Description

This project provisions a VPC and an EC2 instance on AWS through Terraform. In this project, the terraform.tfstate file is stored remotely in an S3 bucket. In addition, we have the creation of a Subnet, AWS Internet Gateway, Route Table and AWS Security Group. Finally, an EC2 instance is created within the Subnet. All resources will be created in the us-east-1 region.

Pre-requisites

Before you begin, you will need to have the following tools installed on your machine: [Terraform] (https://www.terraform.io/) and [Git] (https://git-scm.com). You will need to have a [AWS Account] (https://aws.amazon.com/). In addition, it is good to have an editor to work with the code like [VSCode] (https://code.visualstudio.com/).

How it works

1 - Clone this repository.

git clone git@github.com:diogofiaminghi/terraform-project-01.git

2 - Create an S3 bucket on AWS manually.

3 - Open de Project Folder in VSCode

4 - Edit the main.tf file. On line 13, paste the name of your S3 bucket.

bucket = "your-S3-bucket-name-here"

5 - Open a new bash terminal in VSCode. Create an SSH key pair named 'aws-key'.

ssh-keygen

6 - You must now configure your AWS Access Keys using the bash terminal.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

7 - Terraform Commands in Project Folder

terraform init

terraform fmt

terraform validate

terraform plan -out=plan.out

terraform apply plan.out

8 - Now, to prove that everything worked, get the 'vm_ip' in 'output' and let's connect via ssh to the newly created instance.

ssh -i "aws-key" ubuntu@the-public-ip-here

exit

9 - Do not forget to destroy the provisioned structure otherwise you will be able to receive invoices.

terraform destroy
