Create EC2 Instance Using Terraform Kodekloud Engineer Task Success

 Question :  The Nautilus DevOps team is strategizing the migration of a portion of their infrastructure to the AWS cloud. Recognizing the scale of this undertaking, they have opted to approach the migration in incremental steps rather than as a single massive transition.  

To achieve this, they have segmented large tasks into smaller, more manageable units.  

For this task, create an EC2 instance using Terraform with the following requirements:  

    The name of the instance must be `datacenter-ec2`.

    Use the Amazon Linux `ami-0c101f26f147fa7fd` to launch this instance.

    The Instance type must be `t2.micro`.

    Create a new RSA key named `datacenter-kp`.

    Attach the `default` (available by default) security group.

    The Terraform working directory is /home/bob/terraform. Create the main.tf file (do not create a different .tf file) to provision the instance.

    Note: Right-click under the EXPLORER section in VS Code and select Open in Integrated Terminal to launch the terminal. 

Please Note:-  Perform the below commands based on your question server,  user name & other details that might differ as per the task.

Solution:  

1. In VS Code Editor create a new file  main.tf 

      (Refer Video below for better understanding )

Code you will get on Git Lab repository 

https://gitlab.com/nb-tech-support/devops/-/blob/master/Terraform

resource "tls_private_key" "datacenter_kp" { algorithm = "RSA" rsa_bits = 4096 } resource "aws_key_pair" "datacenter_kp" { key_name = "datacenter-kp" public_key = tls_private_key.datacenter_kp.public_key_openssh } data "aws_security_group" "default" { name = "default" } resource "aws_instance" "datacenter_ec2" { ami = "ami-0c101f26f147fa7fd" instance_type = "t2.micro" key_name = aws_key_pair.datacenter_kp.key_name vpc_security_group_ids = [data.aws_security_group.default.id] tags = { Name = "datacenter-ec2" } }

2  Execute given below command one another.

terraform init terraform plan terraform apply

3. Click on Finish & Confirm to complete the task successful
