Welcome to the Terraform AWS Infrastructure Tutorial! This tutorial will guide you through the process of building your own AWS infrastructure using Terraform. By leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) techniques, you will learn how to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnets, an Internet Gateway, launch an EC2 instance, and host a simple website.
- Basic understanding of AWS services
- An AWS account with appropriate permissions
- Terraform installed on your local machine
- Basic knowledge of Terraform configuration files
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/terraform-aws-infrastructure.git
- Install Terraform on your local machine.
- Set up your AWS credentials.
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd terraform-aws-infrastructure
The project directory contains the following files:
terraform.tf
: Terraform configuration file for initializing providers.provider.tf
: Terraform configuration file for specifying the AWS provider and region.vpc.tf
: Terraform configuration file for creating the VPC.subnet.tf
: Terraform configuration file for creating subnets.internetgateway.tf
: Terraform configuration file for creating an Internet Gateway.route.tf
: Terraform configuration file for creating a route table.ec2.tf
: Terraform configuration file for launching an EC2 instance.userdata.sh
: Shell script for configuring the EC2 instance.
- Update the necessary variables and configurations in the Terraform files.
- Run
terraform init
to initialize the Terraform project. - Run
terraform plan
to preview the changes that will be made. - Run
terraform apply
to apply the changes and create the AWS infrastructure. - Once the infrastructure is created, you can access the website hosted on the EC2 instance.
To clean up and delete the AWS infrastructure created by Terraform, run terraform destroy
.
