Files and Configuration Details

The files within this project are set up as follows:

Terraform

The Terraform files within the Terraform/ directory and its subdirectories are used to provision and configure AWS resources:

• main.tf: This is the main Terraform configuration file which references the network and compute modules.
• variables.tf: This file holds the declarations for variables used within the Terraform configuration files.
• modules/network: This module is used to provision network-related resources, such as a VPC, subnets, an internet gateway, and a security group.
• modules/compute: This module is used to provision compute-related resources, namely AWS EC2 instances.
• entrypoint.sh: This script installs the necessary dependencies for Ansible and sets up the Ansible control node.

Ansible

The Ansible files within the Ansible/ directory are used to configure the EC2 instances:

• ansible.cfg: This is the main Ansible configuration file which sets Ansible defaults and other configurations.
• playbook.yml: This Ansible playbook is used to deploy a simple webpage to the EC2 instances.
