Terraform AWS Elastic Beanstalk Deployment

This Terraform project sets up an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment along with a VPC, security group, and S3 bucket for media storage. Follow the steps below to deploy the infrastructure.

Initial Setup

1. Add s3 backend key to providers.tf file

   terraform {
    backend "s3" {
       bucket = "ixd-terraform-tfstate-bucket"
       key    = "add your key here" #ex: terraform-aws-beanstalk-deployment/terraform.tfstate
       region = "us-east-1"
    }
   }

2. Create S3 Bucket for Media Files

   • Manually create an S3 bucket to store media files. Note the bucket name for use in later steps.

3. Add User for Media Bucket Access

   • Create an IAM user with S3 access and provide necessary permissions to access the media bucket.
   • Retrieve the access key ID and secret access key for this user.
   • add relevent env vars to terraform.yml file - USE_AWS_S3, AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME, AWS_S3_REGION_NAME, AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

4. Add other varibales also to terraform.yml file

   project_name = "your-project-name"
   env = "dev"
   vpc_cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
   public_subnet_1_cidr_block = "10.0.1.0/24"
   public_subnet_1_avail_zone = "us-east-1a"
   stack_name = "64bit Amazon Linux 2 v5.8.1 running Python 3.8"
   instance_type = "t2.micro"
   ec2_keypair = "your-key-pair-name"
   
   # Additional variables as needed
   DATABASE_URL = "your_database_url"
   USE_AWS_S3 = true
   AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "your_s3_access_key_id"
   AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "your_s3_secret_access_key"
   AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = "your_media_bucket_name"
   AWS_S3_REGION_NAME = "your_s3_region"
   DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS = "your_allowed_hosts"
   DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = "your_django_settings_module"
