HANDS-ON FOR STARTERS IN TERRAFORM

 

This steps will guide beginners' on how to provision "ec2" and "VPC" with the use of count and "establish a public IP address".

NOTE : 

 - Failure to specify VPC argument will result to terraform creating the ec2 resource inside the default VPC. 

-  The "ami" should be gotten from your console (ubuntu 18.04)

Lets get a few hands-on:

STEP 1: 

Create a folder, called "Practice-Day1" 

Within the folder create  "ec2.tf file"and "provider.tf"

STEP 2:  

Below is the resource argument for "ec2''

resource "aws_instance" "Env" {

ami = "ami-0263e4deb****0e"

instance_type = "t3.micro"

count = 2

associate_public_ip_address = true

tags = {

Name = "Env"

}

}

STEP 3:

Below is the "provider" argument

terraform {

required_providers {

aws = {

source = "hashicorp/aws"

version = "~> 4.0"

}

}

}

# Configure the AWS Provider

provider "aws" {

region = "us-east-1"

}

# Create a VPC

resource "aws_vpc" "example" {

cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"

}

SOURCE:https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs

STEP 4:

"cd" into the path of the folder.

 "ls" - list what you have inside the folder.    

STEP 7: 

Apply terraform command

-Init

-Validate

-Plan

-Apply

-Destroy

NB: If you successfully deploy this hands-on, kindly leave a comment and feedbacks. Happy Learning! 😊
