Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• AWS account with appropriate permissions.
• Terraform installed on your local machine. Install Terraform.

Deploying the Infrastructure

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/nileeka97/terraform-nginx-aws-ec2-docker-deployment.git

2. Create a terraform.tfvars file and provide values for the required variables: In order to deploy the infrastructure, you need to set the following variables in your terraform.tfvars file or provide them as environment variables:

   • aws_region: AWS region where the infrastructure will be deployed.
   • aws_access_key: Your AWS access key.
   • aws_secret_key: Your AWS secret key.
   • project_name: Name of your project (append environment: dev, stag, or prod).
   • vpc_cidr_block: CIDR block for the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
   • public_subnet_1_cidr_block: CIDR block for the public subnet 1 within the VPC.
   • public_subnet_1_avail_zone: Availability zone for the public subnet 1.
   • instance_type: Instance type for the EC2 instance (e.g., t2.micro, m5.large).
   • ec2_key_name: Name of the manually created key pair for SSH access.

   Example terraform.tfvars:

   aws_region = "us-west-2"
   aws_access_key = "your-access-key"
   aws_secret_key = "your-secret-key"
   project_name = "myproject-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-west-2a"
   instance_type = "t2.micro"
   ec2_key_name = "your-key-pair-name"

3. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd terraform-nginx-aws-ec2-docker-deployment

4. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

5. Apply the Terraform configuration:

   terraform apply

Usage

After the configuration is applied successfully, you can access the public IP of the created EC2 instance. The public IP address will be displayed as an output after Terraform applies the configuration.

Example Output:

ec2_public_ip = "X.X.X.X"

Cleanup

To destroy the infrastructure and cleanup resources, run:

terraform destroy
