Terraform Cloud Infrastructure Project

This repository contains the Terraform configurations for a scalable and modular cloud infrastructure on AWS. It's designed to demonstrate how to use Terraform to provision a VPC, subnets, an Application Load Balancer (ALB), and EC2 instances in a structured and reusable manner.

Features

• VPC Configuration: Set up a Virtual Private Cloud to securely host your resources.
• Subnet Creation: Provision public and private subnets to organize resources based on exposure to the public internet.
• ALB Setup: Deploy an Application Load Balancer to distribute incoming traffic among EC2 instances.
• EC2 Instances: Launch EC2 instances within your VPC subnets to host your applications.

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed on your machine.
• An AWS account and AWS CLI configured with access credentials.

Usage

1. Initialize Terraform: Navigate to the environment directory you wish to deploy (environments/dev or environments/prod), and run:

terraform init

2. Review the Plan: Generate an execution plan to see the changes Terraform will perform:

terraform plan

3. Apply Configuration: Apply the Terraform configuration to provision the resources:

terraform apply
