terraform-moto-example

This examples demonstrates how terraform infrastructure can be created against moto.

Running the example

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/paololazzari/terraform-moto-example .
cd terraform-moto-example

2. Start the docker container moto backend:

docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 --name moto_backend -d motoserver/moto:latest

3. Configure fake AWS credentials:

export AWS_CONFIG_FILE=$(pwd)/config.txt
export AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=$(pwd)/creds.txt
export AWS_PROFILE=demo

4. Run terraform apply:

terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve

5. Run an AWS CLI command against the moto server to verify the creation of the resource:

aws ec2 describe-instances --region us-east-1 --endpoint-url http://localhost:5000

Cleaning up

1. Teardown terraform:

terraform destroy -auto-approve

2. Kill moto docker container:

docker rm -f moto_backend

3. Unset fake AWS credentials:

unset AWS_CONFIG_FILE
unset AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE
unset AWS_PROFILE
