Magento 2 AWS Terraform

Have you ever been annoyed by setting up a new server and the amount of time you lost with stupid configurations? Especially for Magento, you server setup will be complex and heavy.

You often don't have the time to configure a setup that is fully optimized and follows the Magento 2 best practices. This repository tries to solve this issue.

What you can expect from this repository

This repository contains a terraform provisioned and optimized Magento 2 that can be deployed to AWS in minutes. Imagine a new customer signs a contract and you'll be able to deploy his System in minutes.

You will find a .tf file for each resource that is used in AWS. Files with a _ prefix are used to structure the code.

Prerequisites

If you haven't done anything with AWS yet, you should stop reading at this section. I won't describe terraform, AWS or the benefits of IaC in this repository. There are tons of resources out there, that will help you to dig into within a couple of hours.

Let me recommend some resources:

Cloudonaut
AWS in Action
A Comprehensive Guide to Terraform
Terraform: Up & Running
AWS Awesome List - A curated List of useful resources around AWS.
Free Tier Overview - A Summary of Services that are free of charge for one year or more.
Getting Started Guides - A Collection of Guides, that help you to get started with several services.
Simply Monthly Calculator - A Calculator to predict the costs of your specific setup.
TCO Calculator - AWS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator to compare the cost of running your applications in an on-premises or colocation environment to AWS.
PHP Developer Center - Find tools to work with AWS and PHP.
AWS Blog - The official AWS Blog.
AWS DevOps Blog - An AWS Blog that focus DevOps Topics.
AWS Architecture Blog - An AWS Blog that focus on Architecture.
AWS Security Blog - An AWS Blog that focus on Security.

Before you start

Before you start with this repo, you should make sure you have everything installed and activated.

You will need an activated AWS Account. You will need terraform installed on you computer.

What does it cost?

You will pay the amount of resources that you use. This guide makes use of an Aurora Cluster that is more expensive than a standard db instance. I do use at least two instances of EC2 and one Instance for Redis (Elasticache).

If you stick with the default, the whole setup should be between $100-$200 a month (no guarantee).

Run it

Let's setup our Magento 2 within minutes.
