Terraform Infrastructure Provisioning**

Objective:
Create a Terraform configuration to provision an EC2 instance with Apache deployed, along with necessary networking configurations, using best practices.

Tasks:

1. EC2 Instance with Apache Deployment:

   • Write Terraform code to provision an EC2 instance.
   • Use user data to deploy Apache on the instance.
   • Utilize string interpolation to name the instance as <name-ec2>-<environment>.

2. Security Group Configuration:

   • Create a security group resource to allow SSH access from your IP and open port 80 to the world.
   • Ensure proper ingress and egress rules are defined for security.

3. Elastic IP Address Association:

   • Provision an Elastic IP address.
   • Associate the Elastic IP address with the EC2 instance.

4. Output Values:

   • Define output values to display important information such as instance ID, public IP, and Elastic IP.

5. State Management:

   • Store the Terraform state file on an S3 bucket backend.
   • Ensure proper IAM permissions are set for accessing the S3 bucket.

6. Parameterization:

   • Parametrize all values in the Terraform code using variables.
   • Include variables for instance type, AMI ID, SSH key name, VPC ID, subnet ID, etc.

7. GitHub Repository:

   • Upload your Terraform code to a GitHub repository.
   • Share the GitHub repository link as part of your submission.

Submission Guidelines:

• Submit the Terraform code in a GitHub repository.
• Ensure proper documentation and comments are provided within the code.
• Include a README.md file explaining the purpose of the code and how to execute it.

Note:

• Make sure to adhere to best practices for security, naming conventions, and resource optimization.
• Test the Terraform code thoroughly before submission to ensure it functions as expected.
• Reach out to Teacher Assistant if you encounter any issues or need clarification on any aspect of the assignment.

Happy Terraforming!
