Tips on AWS Policy

In production environment a simple mistake could wreck your production environment especially when you're still trying out Terraform.

AWS Organization

Setup a AWS Organization on top of your current account for testing purpose. This is a lot easier

IAM Permissions

I am using "AWS Organization" for Terraform testing, and I created a special user called rix@terraform with a policy of SystemAdministrator.

HowTo

Each directory is independent from other directory. They maintain their own state

Initialise, Plan it out and Apply

• Go to a folder

  $> cd ./chapter-8-vpc-part-1
  

• On initialise your Terraform project

  $> terraform init
  

• Run "plan" and generate your .tfstate file

  $> terraform plan -var aws_profile="<your aws profile>" -out vpc-plan.tfstate
  

• Apply the current Terraform plan

  $> terraform apply -var aws_profile="<your aws profile>"
