Terraform AWS Elastic Beanstalk PHP

Terraform script to setup AWS Elastic Beanstalk with a load-balanced or Single Instance PHP app.

What this script does

Create an Elastic Beanstalk Application and environment.
Setup the EB environment with PHP, an Elastic Loadbalancer and forward port from HTTP / HTTPS to the specified instance port.
(Optionnal) Create a Route53 Alias to link your domain to the EB domain name
(Optionnal) Create a Cloudfront distribution on top of your Elastic Beanstalk environment

Usage

Create a main.tf file with the following configuration:

First: create an EB Application

##################################################
## Your variables
##################################################
variable "aws_region" {
  type    = "string"
  default = "eu-west-1"
}
variable "env" {
  type = "string"
  default = "dev"
}
variable "service_name" {
  type    = "string"
  default = "php-app-test"
}


##################################################
## AWS config
##################################################
provider "aws" {
  region = "${var.aws_region}"
}


##################################################
## Elastic Beanstalk config
##################################################
resource "aws_elastic_beanstalk_application" "eb_app" {
  name        = "${var.service_name}"
  description = "My awesome nodeJs App"
}

Then, create an EB environment using the module

##################################################
## Elastic Beanstalk config
##################################################
module "eb_env" {
  source = "github.com/BasileTrujillo/terraform-elastic-beanstalk-php//eb-env"
  aws_region = "${var.aws_region}"

  # Application settings
  env = "${var.env}"
  service_name = "${var.service_name}"
  service_description = "My awesome php App"
  
  # PHP settings
  php_version = "7.0"
  document_root = "/public"
  memory_limit = "512M"
  zlib_php_compression = "Off"
  allow_url_fopen = "On"
  display_errors = "On"
  max_execution_time = "60"
  composer_options = ""
  
  # Instance settings
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  min_instance = "2"
  max_instance = "4"

  # ELB
  enable_https = "false" # If set to true, you will need to add an ssl_certificate_id (see L70 in app/variables.tf)

  # Security
  vpc_id = "vpc-xxxxxxx"
  vpc_subnets = "subnet-xxxxxxx"
  elb_subnets = "subnet-xxxxxxx"
  security_groups = "sg-xxxxxxx"
}

Link your domain using Route53

Add to the previous script the following lines:

##################################################
## Route53 config
##################################################
module "app_dns" {
  source = "github.com/BasileTrujillo/terraform-elastic-beanstalk-php//r53-alias"
  aws_region = "${var.aws_region}"

  domain = "example.io"
  domain_name = "my-app.example.io"
  eb_cname = "${module.eb_env.eb_cname}"
}

Add an Elastic File System to your EB

First, create the EFS before the Elastic Beanstalk Environment:

##################################################
## AWS Elastic File System
##################################################
resource "aws_efs_file_system" "file_storage" {
  creation_token = "${var.service_name}-${var.env}"

  tags {
    Name = "${var.service_name}-${var.env}"
  }
}

resource "aws_efs_mount_target" "file_storage_target" {
  file_system_id  = "${aws_efs_file_system.file_storage.id}"
  subnet_id       = "${var.vpc_subnets}"
  security_groups = ["${var.security_groups}"]
}

Then set efs_id & efs_mount_directory to the Elastic Beanstalk Environment module:

##################################################
## Elastic Beanstalk config
##################################################
module "eb_env" {
  source = "github.com/BasileTrujillo/terraform-elastic-beanstalk-php//eb-env"
  aws_region = "${var.aws_region}"

  # Application settings
  env = "${var.env}"
  service_name = "${var.service_name}"
  service_description = "My awesome php App"
  
  # PHP settings
  php_version = "7.0"
  document_root = "/public"
  memory_limit = "512M"
  zlib_php_compression = "Off"
  allow_url_fopen = "On"
  display_errors = "On"
  max_execution_time = "60"
  composer_options = ""
  
  # Instance settings
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  min_instance = "2"
  max_instance = "4"

  # ELB
  enable_https = "false" # If set to true, you will need to add an ssl_certificate_id (see L70 in app/variables.tf)

  # Security
  vpc_id = "vpc-xxxxxxx"
  vpc_subnets = "subnet-xxxxxxx"
  elb_subnets = "subnet-xxxxxxx"
  security_groups = "sg-xxxxxxx"
  
  # EFS
  efs_id="${aws_efs_file_system.file_storage.id}"
  efs_mount_directory="/var/app/efs"
}

Finally, copy .ebextensions/efs_mount.config to your .ebextensions project directory and deploy using AWS EB CLI

Example

Take a look at example.tf for an example with Elastic Beanstalk and Route53.
Take a look at example_with_cloudfront.tf for an example with Elastic Beanstalk, Cloudfront and Route53.

Customize

Many options are available through variables. Feel free to look into variables.tf inside each module to see all parameters you can setup.

Tips

Elastic Beanstalk PHP Tips:

Install PDO DBLIB (PDO MSSQL Driver) for PHP 7.0: add the following lines to .ebextensions/dblib.config

packages:
  yum:
    freetds: []
    freetds-devel: []
    php70-pdo-dblib: []

Install PDO DBLIB (PDO MSSQL Driver) for PHP 5.6: add the following lines to .ebextensions/dblib.config

packages:
  yum:
    freetds: []
    freetds-devel: []
    php56-mssql: []
