Welcome to the terraform-projects repository! This repository is a collection of various Terraform projects designed to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure across different cloud providers. Each project is focused on solving a specific use case, demonstrating best practices, and following industry standards for security, scalability, and maintainability.
This repository contains a variety of Terraform configurations, each targeting different infrastructure use cases across popular cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The goal is to provide ready-to-use Terraform templates that you can easily customize for your own projects. Whether you are setting up a secure VPC, deploying a web application, or managing scalable infrastructure, you'll find a project that fits your needs.
The projects in this repository follow best practices for:
- Security: Using least-privilege IAM roles, encrypted resources, and secure access management.
- Scalability: Configuring auto-scaling groups, load balancers, and database clustering.
- Monitoring: Incorporating monitoring tools like AWS CloudWatch for real-time alerts and logs.
- Cost Efficiency: Optimizing resource usage while staying within cloud providers' free tiers where possible.
Before using any of the Terraform configurations in this repository, you need to have the following tools installed and set up:
-
Terraform: Download and Install Terraform
-
Cloud Provider Account: Create an account with your desired cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
-
AWS CLI (optional): If working with AWS, you can install and configure the AWS CLI.
-
IAM Permissions: Ensure your IAM user has sufficient permissions to create and manage the resources defined in the projects (e.g., EC2, RDS, IAM).
This project demonstrates how to use Terraform to provision a production-ready, scalable, and secure AWS infrastructure. It includes:
- VPC with private and public subnets.
- EC2 instances with Auto Scaling.
- RDS for database services (MySQL/PostgreSQL) with automated backups and encryption.
- S3 for secure storage with encryption enabled.
- IAM roles with least-privilege permissions.
- CloudWatch for monitoring and logging.
This project is designed to be industry-ready, focusing on high availability, security, and performance.
To get started, clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/terraform-projects.git
cd terraform-projects
Ensure that you have Terraform installed.
terraform -v
If not, install it.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install terraform
- AWS CLI:
aws configure
- Azure CLI:
az login
- Google Cloud SDK:
gcloud auth login
After configuring your provider and setting up the necessary environment, navigate to the project directory and initialize the Terraform configuration:
terraform init
- Run the following command to see the execution plan before applying the configuration:
terraform plan
- If the plan looks good, apply the configuration to create the infrastructure:
terraform apply
- To tear down the infrastructure, you can use:
terraform destroy
