Cloud Provider VM Provisioning with Terraform

This project uses Terraform to provision Virtual Machines (VMs) on any Cloud Provider. The VMs are created using SSH keys stored in a local file.

Prerequisites

• OpenTofu / Terraform installed
• Cloud Provider API Token
• SSH keys

Setup

1. Clone this repository.

2. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and simply add your Cloud Provider API token:

   <Your Cloud Provider API Token>
   

3. Add your SSH keys to a file named ssh_keys.txt in the root directory of the project. Each SSH key should be on a new line.

Tip

• Guide to create an SSH key here
• To install OpenTofu or Terraform follow these offical documentation.

Usage

To initialize the tools, run the following command(s):

OpenTofu:

tofu init

Terraform:

terraform init

To provision the VMs, run the following command(s):

OpenTofu:

tofu apply

Terraform:

terraform apply

This will read the SSH keys from the ssh_keys.txt file and create a VM for each key in the blr1 region on DigitalOcean.
