terraform-vpc-ccloud
Setting up a VPC in Terraform and peering it with Confluent Cloud
Getting Started
This project works on the assumption that the AWS CLI is already running and is configured on your machine.
Install Terraform
brew install terraformSimple test
The first project will create a t2.micro instance running Ubuntu 22.04 with the name ableasdale-ubuntu-instance in the eu-west-2 region.
cd ec2-instance-simple
terraform initAfter initialization, run terraform plan then terraform apply to create the instance.
Attempt to ssh to the instance
ssh -i yourkey.pem ubuntu@PUBLIC_IP_ADDRWhen you're done, run terraform destroy to clean-up.
Create a VPC
The custom-vpc directory will create a VPC with Public and Private subnets and will install a Bastion host in the first AZ in the public subnet
Attempt to ssh to the instance
ssh -i yourkey.pem ec2-user@PUBLIC_IP_ADDRTODO - need aws cli? confluent cli? Visual Studio plugins?
