How to execute

1. Create a terraform.tfvars file with your preferred configuration inside /main folder
2. Create a .env.backend file with your AWS credentials for storing the terraform state inside /main folder. This is useful for having the state in the cloud when working in teams.
3. Make sure you have created the manual resources
   1. Terraform State: Make sure you created an S3 bucket or a folder inside a bucket to only store the state of your terraform instances.
   2. Task Definition Enviroments: Make sure you created a S3 bucket with all your envs to make the cluster work. Remember to paste your bucket name and file to the task definition section.
   3. Certificate Manager: Make sure you have your HTTPS certificate created and pasted the ARN to the Load Balancer HTTPS section.
   4. Aurora DB: Create your DB instance manually if necessary.
4. Run the scripts

   terraform init -backend-config=.env.backend
