A simple PoC using Terraform to create two instances of Amazon AWS EC2 servers running Docker with containerized Nginx daemon. It uses default Amazon AMI PV image for us-east-1.

To check what recurses will be created:

$ terraform plan

To create EC2 instances and their dependencies:

$ terraform apply

To destroy all:

$ terraform destroy

Dockerfile which uses the official ruby image (https://hub.docker.com/_/ruby/) which contains a ruby program running in an infinite loop and doing the following: Program

1. Do a 5sec pause.
2. Downloads the JSON file exercise1.yaml
3. Generates terraform resources “aws_instance” (https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/ aws/r/instance.html) and “aws_key_pair” (https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/ key_pair.html) out of it. The key needs to be used by the instance.
4. Prints out the terraform resources.

In order to use it create Docker image from Dockerfile and start a container:

• cd lab
• docker build -t test .
• docker run -dt test

A terraform configuration which contains the following: AWS Setup

• An EC2 instance of type t2.micro based on a Ubuntu image.

• A Loadbalancer forwarding incoming requests to the EC2 instance.

• The EC2 instance needs to run an Nginx webserver serving one HTML file (just make one up and make the file part of your Github repo).

• The Nginx server is a Docker container started on the EC2 instance.

The state can be deployed by:

• terraform init and
• terraform apply.

These projects require AWS permissions to create ressources.
