Project Instructions

VPC

---

Note: Create and provision the VPC module in order to make it available for the rest of the project.

Subnet

This is where we can deploy our EC2 instances.

Route Tables

This is to route traffic from the subnets to the Internet Gateway or internally

EC2

To find out about the owner for an ami:

1. Log into aws console
2. Choose an ami from the ec2 catalog
3. Click on Images
4. Click on Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) --> Public images, paste it and check Owner

Note: In this case, once I run terraform plan from the 6-data_sources.tf file, there are no changes since I'm using dev.tfvars and the ami value is provided there also.

Create ssh key-pair to interact with the EC2 instance

1. In the terminal type: ssh-keygen -t ed25519
2. Enter file name by previously copying the path and then give it a proper path+name ei. /Users/me/.ssh/dev-env-key
