Basic Terraform AWS example

terraws - Basic Terraform AWS Example

Purpose

To demonstrate a working knowledge of Terraform w/ AWS.

Expected Results

The output of these Terraform scripts will be a AWS ELB DNS name (elb_dns_name) available to all users. HTTP requests made to elb_dns_name will result in the following output (unique per instance serving the request):

• instance_id
• instance_type
• local-ipv4
• placement/availability-zone
• ami-id

The following AWS services are created:

• Elastic Load Balancer
• EC2 Launch Configuration
• EC2 Auto-Scaling Group
• VPC
  • Subnet
  • Internet Gateway
  • Routing Table

Getting started

1. Install Terraform
2. Install AWS CLI
3. Clone this repo
4. Configure the AWS CLI with your AWS credentials
5. Execute the Terraform plan

brew install terraform awscli
git clone [e-mail]:cliffom/terraws.git
cd terraws
aws configure
terraform plan
terraform apply

When terraform apply is complete, you will see elb_dns_name with a value in the output. After a few moments that DNS name will respond to HTTP GET requests with the expected output outlined above.
