📝 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Terraform installed locally.
• An AWS account with appropriate permissions.
• AWS CLI installed and configured on your local machine.

🔑 AWS Access Key Generation

To generate access keys for AWS, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.
2. Go to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) dashboard.
3. In the left sidebar, click on "Users".
4. Select your IAM user or create a new one if needed.
5. Navigate to the "Security credentials" tab.
6. Under "Access keys", click on "Create access key".
7. Save the generated Access Key ID and Secret Access Key securely.

⚙️ AWS Configuration

After generating the access keys, configure your AWS CLI with the following steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Run the following command and provide the Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, default region, and default output format when prompted:

aws configure

Example:

AWS Access Key ID [None]: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: json

📈 Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AzeemQidwai/terraform-aws-infrastructure.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

   cd terraform-aws-infrastructure

3. Initialize the Terraform working directory:

   terraform init

4. Plan the Terraform execution:

   terraform plan

5. Apply the Terraform configuration:

   terraform apply -auto-approve

🧹 Cleanup

When you're done experimenting, clean up the resources to avoid incurring charges:

terraform destroy -auto-approve

⚠️ Note

Ensure that you review all the Terraform configurations before applying them to your AWS account. Provisioned resources may incur costs, and Terraform will create and manage resources as defined in the configuration files.
