Setting up EC2 environment in AWS using Terraform

📄Task

✏To create and setup key pair, security groups, ec2 instance and attaching it with EBS with storage of 1 GB.

First we will create a Profile.tf file to mention provider on which we are going to work i.e., AWS .

then write following terraform code :

provider "aws" {


region = "ap-south-1"
access_key = "[access_key]"
secret_key = "[your_secret_key]"
}

Note: Replace [access_key] and [your_secret_key] with yours.

Now we will be writing the ec2.tf for this task.

✔Step 1:

To create a Key pair.

resource "aws_key_pair" "terrakey" {
  key_name   = "terraform-key"
  public_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQD3F6tyPEFEzV0LX3X8BsXdMsQz1x2cEikKDEY0aIj41qgxMCP/iteneqXSIFZBp5vizPvaoIR3Um9xK7PGoW8giupGn+EPuxIA4cDM4vzOqOkiMPhz5XK0whEjkVzTo4+S0puvDZuwIsdiW9mxhJc7tgBNL0cYlWSYVkz4G/fslNfRPW5mYAM49f4fhtxPb5ok4Q2Lg9dPKVHO/Bgeu5woMc7RY0p1ej6D4CKFE6lymSDJpW0YHX/wqE9+cfEauh7xZcG0q9t2ta6F6fmX0agvpFyZo8aFbXeUBr7osSCJNgvavWbM/06niWrOvYX2xwWdhXmXSrbX8ZbabVohBK41 email@example.com"

✔Step 2:

Create a security group

first create vpc for it

resource “aws_vpc” “main” {
cidr_block = “10.0.0.0/16”
}

then write this

resource "aws_security_group" "SecGroup" {
  name        = "TLS"
  description = "Allow TLS inbound traffic"
  vpc_id      = aws_vpc.main.id


  ingress {
    description      = "TLS from VPC"
    from_port        = 443
    to_port          = 443
    protocol         = "tcp"
  }


  egress {
    from_port        = 0
    to_port          = 0
    protocol         = "-1"
  }


  tags = {
    Name = "allow_tls"
  }
}

✔Step 3:

Launch an instance using the above created key pair and security group.

✔Step 4:

Create an EBS volume of 1 GB.

✔Step 5:

The final step is to attach the above created EBS volume to the instance you created in the previous steps.

Now first write this command in your terminal

terraform init

This command will initialise the terraform with the provider which you have mentioned.

Now write the following command to apply the setup for your instance:

terraform apply -auto-approve

this prompt will only come when you write “terraform apply” without -auto-approve, then just type “yes”

then

Yippie, the whole task is executed.✨

Now, to destroy the environment:

terraform destroy

Type “yes” when prompted.

Destroyed successfully!

Thanks for reading.

Have a great day ahead.😊
