Example Terraform repo for AWS web application

Configuration

Configure AWS-credentials into the terraform.tfvars file.

aws_access_key = "<YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY>"
aws_secret_key = "<YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY>"
access_ip      = "0.0.0.0/0"

Limit public access to application host ports (22,80,443) using access_ip variable. Database host access is limited only for application host.

Run easily using helper scripts

Use apply.sh and destroy.sh helper scripts for fast stack manaagement.

# create resources to aws
# generates helper scripts for direct ssh-access
$ ./apply.sh
#
# connect to application host
$ ./ssh-application.sh
#
# connect to database host
$ ./ssh-database.sh
#
# remove resources from aws
$ ./destroy.sh

Run using terraform commands

# init modules
$ terraform init

# validate configuration
$ terraform validate

# plan configuration
$ terraform plan

# apply configuration
$ terraform apply

# destroy configuration
$ terraform destroy
