Provisioning infrastructure on AWS has never been easier! Today, I embarked on a journey to harness the power of Terraform for seamless AWS provisioning. Here's a step-by-step guide to get started:
Prerequisites: Before diving in, ensure you have the AWS CLI installed on your machine and an AWS IAM user set up with appropriate permissions. Export your AWS access key ID and secret access key to your environment.
Install Required Providers: In your Terraform configuration, specify the required providers, such as AWS, and their versions. Additionally, set the required Terraform version. Don't forget to add the region where you want your instances to be provisioned.
hclCopy codeterraform {
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 4.16"
}
}
required_version = ">= 1.2.0"
}
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
Task 01: Provision an AWS EC2 Instance: Utilize Terraform to provision AWS EC2 instances effortlessly. Define the desired configuration for your EC2 instance, including the AMI, instance type, and tags.
hclCopy coderesource "aws_instance" "aws_ec2_test" {
count = 4
ami = "ami-08c40ec9ead489470"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags = {
Name = "TerraformTestServerInstance"
}
}
Practical Implementation: Execute the Terraform configuration:
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
With these simple steps, you'll be on your way to provisioning AWS resources with Terraform like a pro! Stay tuned for more exciting adventures in infrastructure as code. 🔧💻 #Terraform #AWS #InfrastructureAsCode #DevOps #Automation
