Terraform VPC Creation and Destruction

This repository contains Terraform configurations for creating and destroying an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Prerequisites

Before using this Terraform configuration, ensure that you have the following prerequisites set up:

1. AWS Account: You need an AWS account to create and manage resources.
2. Terraform Installed: Ensure that Terraform is installed on your local machine. You can download it from Terraform's official website.

Configuration

AWS S3 Bucket for Terraform Backend

Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account named terraform-backend-s3-github to be used as the backend for Terraform state. If this name is not available, create a new one.

Update the terraform_vpc/providers.tf file with the correct bucket name.

backend "s3" {
    bucket = "bucket_name"
    key    = "dev/terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-east-1"
  }

Usage

1. Initialize Terraform:

   Run the initialization command.

   terraform init

2. Create VPC:

   To create the VPC, follow the relevant Terraform command.

   terraform apply --auto-approve

3. Destroy VPC:

   To destroy the VPC and associated resources, follow the relevant Terraform command.
