Route53 Learning with Terraform

Terraform project supporting the provisioning of aws infrastructure for Route53. It creates 2 hosted zones and DNS records for:

• ACM certificate validation
• API Gateway for 2 regions (us-east-1, sa-east-1)
• S3 static website
• Geolocation
• Weighted traffic

It also provides 2 EC2 instances on both us-east-1 and sa-east-1 regions to test geolocation DNS records.

When provisioning the infrastructure, you have to provide a domain and a sub domain. For example, if you provide example.com as domain and subdomain.example.com as subdomain, you'll have:

• http://example.com and http://www.example.com serving a static website
• http://geo.subdomain.example.com serving content from 2 EC2 instances, one in each region
• http://weighted.subdomain.example.com spreading the traffic for both regions
• https://us-east-1.api.subdomain.example.com/todos serving dynamic content for us-east-1
• https://sa-east-1.api.subdomain.example.com/todos serving dynamic content for sa-east-1

Prerequisites

Complete the following manual steps before provisioning:

• Install terraform
• Setup an aws profile (default is called personal)
• Create 2 key pairs called Route53LearningKeyPairUS (us-east-1) and Route53LearningKeyPairBR (sa-east-1) or set your own to ssh_key_pair_name variable

Provisioning infrastructure

Run terraform plan -var 'hosted_zone_domain=<your domain>' -var 'hosted_zone_sub_domain=<your sub domain>'
