Deploy Secure Load Balancers on Hetzner Cloud with Terraform

This repository contains the demo configuration used in the video "Deploy Secure Load Balancers on Hetzner Cloud with Terraform" on the Dev Tester YouTube channel.

Resources created

The Terraform configuration in this project (main.tf) creates the following resources on Hetzner Cloud in the Hillsboro, Oregon network zone:

• A firewall
• A private network and subnet
• Six cloud servers
• A load balancer
• Targets for the load balancer
• A service for the load balancer
• A managed SSL certificate

API token

If you want to reuse this configuration for deploying these resources on your Hetzner Cloud account, you'll first need to create an API token on Hetzner Cloud. Once you have a token, create a terraform.tfvars file in the root of this repository with the following content:

hetzner_cloud_api_token = "<Your Hetzner Cloud API token>"

Deploying the resources

• First, set up the Terraform project by running the terraform init command,.
• Run the terraform validate command to ensure the configuration syntax is valid.
• Check that your API token is set up properly by running terraform plan to verify which resources will be created.
• When you're ready to deploy, run terraform apply to create the resources on your Hetzner Cloud project.

For an example on using Terraform to deploy your infrastructure on Hetzner Cloud, check out the video "Rails Deployments Made Easy with Terraform and Kamal" on the Dev Tester YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/uVGo7eZr6wU
