Using terraform to deploy a RDS instance

Basic Instructions

1. Create a directory to house this project in then switch to that directory

   mkdir RDS-TF-Project; cd RDS-TF-Project

2. Create two empty .tf files named provider.tf & rds.tf. Then open text editors to begin configuration task

   touch provider.tf rds.tf; code provider.tf rds.tf

3. Once files have necessary information needed to deploy infrastructure; run the following commands to initialize terraform in current directory, validate syntax of file, and build infrastructure

   terraform init; terraform validate/plan; terraform apply -auto-apply

4. Login to AWS Console -> Go to RDS Service to check and see the DB instance be created. Can also go to VPC Service and check the security group & subnet section

5. Once everything is complete, make sure to destroy resources so charges will not happen

   terraform destroy
