Terraform AWS EC2 Instance Provisioning

This Terraform project provisions an AWS EC2 instance within a VPC and subnet, with specified configuration. It also includes variables for easy customization.

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

  1. Terraform
  2. AWS CLI

Configuration

  1. Create an AWS IAM user with the necessary permissions and configure AWS CLI with the user's credentials.

  2. Modify the main.tf file to customize the following parameters:

    • instance_type: EC2 instance type (default: t2.micro).
    • ami_id: AMI ID for the desired Ubuntu version (default: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).
    • tags: Tags to assign to the EC2 instance.
    • vpc_cidr: CIDR block for the VPC.
    • subnet_cidr: CIDR block for the subnet.

  3. Run terraform init to initialize the working directory.

  4. Run terraform apply to create the AWS resources as defined.

  5. After provisioning is complete, you can get the public IP address of the EC2 instance using the output instance_public_ip.
