Terraform

AWS Windows Server Deployment with Terraform This is a simple Terraform configuration for deploying a Windows Server instance on AWS—a useful setup if you occasionally need a quick Windows environment for testing, development, or troubleshooting. It provisions a basic infrastructure including a VPC, subnet, and an RDP-accessible Windows Server instance. Access is restricted to your own IP address to provide a reasonable layer of security without over-complicating things. Code The code can be found in this github repository ....

Github Repo All the code required can be found in the github repo: github.com/edrandall-dev/kubernetes-on-ec2 Introduction Last year, when I was learning Kubernetes, I wanted to create my own cluster on AWS using EC2 instances. The idea behind this was go through the installation of Kubernetes from start to finish, learning everything I needed to along the way. I’ve also used Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to deploy Neo4j using the official Neo4j Helm Charts....

In this post, I outline the steps needed to take an input from a terraform parent (or calling) module and pass it to a config file on a target EC2 instance. What are Terraform Modules? Using modules in terraform helps to organise and reuse code, allowing a module to be defined once and used many times. For example, a development team may want to quickly create and destroy a number of EC2 instances....

The following code snippets show how to create three private subnets in AWS using terraform with ‘count’, ‘join’ and ’element’: To start with the following variables were declared and set: terraform.tfvars base_cidr_block = "192.168.0.0/16" node_count = 3 availability_zones = ["a", "b", "c"] variables.tf variable "base_cidr_block" { description = "The base of the address range to be used by the VPC and corresponding Subnets" } variable "availability_zones" { description = "A list containing 3 AZs" type = list(string) } variable "node_count" { description = "The number of ec2 instances to deploy" type = number } Three subnets are then created using a single resource block....
