Fast Terraform

Abstract

1. Introduction

This repo covers Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) with LABs using AWS and AWS Sample Projects: Resources, Variables, Meta Arguments, Provisioners, Dynamic Blocks, Modules, Provisioning AWS Resources (EC2, EBS, EFS, VPC, IAM Policies, Roles, ECS, ECR, Fargate, EKS, Lambda, API-Gateway, ELB, S3, etc.

2. Objective

This repo covers Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) with LABs using AWS and AWS Sample Projects: Resources, Variables, Meta Arguments, Provisioners, Dynamic Blocks, Modules, Provisioning AWS Resources (EC2, EBS, EFS, VPC, IAM Policies, Roles, ECS, ECR, Fargate, EKS, Lambda, API-Gateway, ELB, S3, etc.

This project demonstrates how HCL, AWS, Terraform can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• "Modules" helps organize configuration, encapsulation, re-usability and consistency.
• "Modules" is the structure/container for multiple resources that are used together.
• Each modules usually have variables.tf that is configured from the parent tf file.
• Details: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/modules
• AWS modules for different components (VPC, IAM, SG, EKS, S3, Lambda, RDS, etc.)
• Go to LAB to learn:
• LAB-08: Modules => Provision EC2
• This sample shows:
• how to create EKS cluster with managed nodes using BluePrints and Modules.
• EKS Blueprint is used to provision EKS cluster with managed nodes easily.

4. Technology Stack

• Terraform file has different components to define infrastructure for different purposes.
• Providers,
• Resources,
• Variables,
• Values (locals, outputs),
• Meta Argurments (for, for_each, map, depends_on, life_cycle),
• Dynamic Blocks,
• Data Sources,

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Terraform CLI
• Cloud provider account (e.g. AWS) with CLI configured
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/omerbsezer/Fast-Terraform.git
cd Fast-Terraform

1. This sample shows:
2. how to create code repository using CodeCommit,
3. how to create pipeline with CodePipeline, create S3 bucket to store Artifacts for codepipeline stages' connection (source, build, deploy),
4. how to create builder with CodeBuild ('buildspec_build.yaml'), build the source code, create a Docker image,
5. how to create ECR (Elastic Container Repository) and push the build image into the ECR,
6. how to create Lambda Function (by CodeBuild automatically) and run/deploy container on Lambda ('buildspec_deploy.yaml').
7. Source code is pulled from:
8. Some of the fields are updated.

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
• Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
• Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
