July 2024Terraform EC2 Project - Automated Infrastructure Deployment
The Terraform EC2 Project demonstrates the use of Terraform to automate the deployment of an EC2 instance within a custom VPC. This project includes various configurations organized into branches to showcase different features of Terraform. The configurations include custom and existing modules for Subnet and VPC, remote state management using S3, and best practices such as resource tagging and output values. Developed to enhance infrastructure management and automation, this project exemplifies efficient resource provisioning and state management.
Executed between January 2024 and March 2024, this project utilized Terraform to deploy an EC2 instance within a custom VPC. The configurations are organized into several branches, each highlighting specific features such as custom modules, existing modules from the Terraform Registry, and remote state management. The infrastructure includes VPC, subnets, an Internet Gateway, route tables, security groups, a key pair, and an EC2 instance. Best practices followed include modular configuration for reusability, remote state storage in an S3 bucket for collaborative state management, and use of variables and output values for flexibility and clarity. The project was set up to streamline the deployment process and can be extended to include additional resources like RDS or S3.
The Terraform EC2 Project successfully automated the deployment of an EC2 instance and associated infrastructure within a custom VPC. The modular approach and remote state management facilitated effective collaboration and maintained flexibility. Key outcomes include the creation of a VPC, subnets, an Internet Gateway, route tables, security groups, and an EC2 instance, with proper resource tagging and output values to aid in management. The project illustrates how Terraform can be used to manage infrastructure efficiently, with potential for extension to additional AWS resources. The configuration files and usage instructions are available in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Ayroid/terraform-ec2-project).
