#Introduction
In this tutorial, How to deploy a Web Server with Terraform.
- Create EC2 instance
- User user_data and create a script to install Nginx webserver on amazon linux 2.
- Security group ingress rule to allow access web server from my laptop ?
Structure folder and files deploy a Web Server with Terraform
Created Single-WebServer folder contains files as below:
main.tf
output.tf
provider.tf
securitygroups.tfDeploy a Web Server with Terraform
Create new file main.tf with the content as below
resource "aws_instance" "devopsroles-lab01" {
ami = "ami-0c2d06d50ce30b442"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
vpc_security_group_ids = ["${aws_security_group.webserver_security_group.id}"]
tags = {
Name = "DevopsRoles-Webserver"
}
key_name = "terraform-demo"
user_data = <<EOF
#!/bin/bash -xe
exec > >(tee /var/log/user-data.log|logger -t user-data -s 2>/dev/console) 2>&1
sudo yum update -y
sudo amazon-linux-extras install nginx1 -y
sudo su -c "/bin/echo 'My Site: DevopsRoles.com' >/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html"
instance_ip=`curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4`
sudo su -c "echo $instance_ip >>/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html"
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
EOF
}On AWS, we created key pair terraform-demo as the picture below
Create a new file provider.tf with the content as below
provider "aws" {
region = "us-west-2"
}New file securitygroups.tf with the content as below
resource "aws_security_group" "webserver_security_group" {
ingress {
from_port = 22
to_port = 22
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = [ "116.110.26.150/32"]
}
ingress {
from_port = 80
to_port = 80
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = [ "116.110.26.150/32"]
}
egress {
from_port = 0
to_port = 0
protocol = "-1"
cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
}
}Create a new file output.tf with the content as below
output "public_ip" {
value = "${aws_instance.devopsroles-lab01.public_ip}"
}First, we run below to initialize, download the plugins and validate the terraform syntax…
terraform init
terraform validateThe output terminal is as follows
Applying a template
$ terraform applyThe output terminal is as below
C:\Users\HuuPV\Desktop\Terraform\Single-WebServer>terraform apply
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with
the following symbols:
+ create
Terraform will perform the following actions:
