AWS Resource Creation Using Terraform

This repository demonstrates how to create AWS resources using Terraform. It provides examples and templates for common AWS services.

Contents:

• main.tf: The main Terraform configuration file. This file defines the infrastructure to be created. This will include resource definitions, providers, and variables.
• variables.tf: Defines variables used in the main.tf file. This allows for easy customization without modifying the core infrastructure code. (Example: AWS region, instance type, etc.)
• outputs.tf: Defines outputs from the Terraform execution. This allows you to easily access important information about the created resources, such as their IDs and public IP addresses.
• providers.tf (Optional): Specifically defines providers (like the AWS provider). This is often included for clarity, especially in larger projects.

Getting Started:

1. Prerequisites:

   • Install Terraform.
   • Configure AWS credentials. Terraform needs access to your AWS account. You can configure this using AWS access keys, environment variables, or an IAM role. See the AWS documentation for details.

2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository_url>
   cd <repository_name>

3. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

   This downloads the necessary AWS provider plugins.

4. Plan the Changes:

   terraform plan

   This shows you what resources Terraform will create or modify.

5. Apply the Changes:

   terraform apply

   This creates the resources in your AWS account. Review the plan carefully before applying.

6. Destroy the Resources (when finished):

   terraform destroy

   This deletes the resources created by Terraform. Use this with caution.

Example Resources (This section will be populated based on the contents of the repository):

• (Example: EC2 Instance) This example might create an EC2 instance with specific instance type, AMI, and security group.
• (Example: S3 Bucket) This example could create an S3 bucket with specific configuration (versioning, encryption, etc.).
• (Example: VPC) This could create a virtual private cloud with subnets, internet gateway, etc.

Customization:

Modify the variables in variables.tf to customize the resources. For example, you can change the instance type, AMI ID, or other parameters to suit your needs.

Note: This is a template. You need to populate the main.tf, variables.tf, and outputs.tf files with the actual Terraform code to create the desired AWS resources. Remember to follow AWS best practices for security and cost optimization.
