Terraform-LabDay

Lab created for testing purposes

How do I get everything I need installed?

We’re glad you asked - there are many options to install Terraform. We recommend Homebrew
Note: Install Xcode on MacOS prior to installation of Homebrew. Trust us on this.

Useful tools to install prior to install

Code Editors

brew install --cask visual-studio-code
brew install --cask atom
brew install --cask sublime-text

Software

brew install terraform
brew install git
brew install awscli
brew install azure-cli
brew install --cask google-cloud-sdk
brew install warrensbox/tap/tfswitch (optional, yet strongly recommended)

Additionally, our good friend Anthony Rees created a repo from which you can run a script to install the above tools and more. You may need to comment out applications you don't need to streamline the process. Note: I'm using a fork of his repo.

Core Terraform files in this repo

main.tf - AWS resources defined

providers.tf - Definies how to access AWS securely

datasources.tf - Creates the Ubuntu AMI (Amazon Machine Image)

outputs.tf - Displays ip address of ec2 instance

userdata.tpl - Used to bootstrap (load a program that will be ready to use) the Ubuntu AMI

Note: Terraform 13.0 is in use for this repo
