Overview
This implementation document demonstrates the integration of Terraform with Amazon
Web Services (AWS) to provision a complete cloud infrastructure. The setup includes an
EC2 instance, an S3 bucket, and a custom VPC with public and private subnets.
This approach eliminates repetitive manual steps, enabling scalable, consistent, and
version-controlled infrastructure deployment. The project showcases the practical
application of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), bridging theory and real-world cloud
provisioning with Terraform and AWS.
Demonstration with Snippets
Installation of Terraform in our Linux System
1.1: Connecting EC2 instance with Amazon Linux
cd <directory of your .pem file>
ssh -i "myec2keypair.pem" ec2-user@<public-ip>
2
1.2 : Installation of the packages
Make sure you visit the official site of Terraform and search for the OS in which you are
going to install the packages and copy paste the commands in your CLI to ensure the latest
version is beig installed in your system
Since my system is Amazon Linux , These were the commands which were required for
me to install the packages
sudo yum install -y yum-utils shadow-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo
https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/AmazonLinux/hashicorp.repo
sudo yum install terraform

1.3 Set IAM role for EC2 [Administrator access] so that terraform can access our AWS

I have named the IAM role as Terraform-exec
Before starting with any action in Terraform, This is a mandatory step

PART 1 - Creating an EC2 Instance
The configurations of the instance which i have initiated is as follows
● Instance name : myfirstec2instance
● OS type : Amazon Linux
● Instance type : t3.micro
● Keypair type : RSA
● Private key file format : .pem
● VPC : default
● Security group : Allowed SSH traffic from anywhere 0.0.0.0/0, HTTP
AND HTTPS traffic from the internet
● Configure Storage : 1x8 gib,gp3
Terraform code for this configiruation is in this repository
yaggy17/Terraform-implementations
Make a directory for storing the code file into the folder using
mkdir <directory name>
Move into the created directory using cd <directory name>
Now, using the command vim <terraform filename>, insert the code written
into it and click ESC button and type :wq to quit from the write mode
Then enter the following commands
terraform init - Initializes working directory, downloads providers, sets up
Terraform.
terraform plan - Shows planned changes without applying them.
terraform apply - Executes changes to match configuration.

The instance is being created as per the required configuration

PART 2 - Configuring a VPC
The configurations of the vpc setup are as follows
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)
● Name: tf-vpc
● CIDR Block: 10.0.0.0/16
● Instance Tenancy: default
Public Subnet
● Name: tf-ps.
● CIDR Block: 10.0.1.0/24
● Associated VPC: tf-vpc
Private Subnet
● Name: tf-pvts
● CIDR Block: 10.0.2.0/24
● Associated VPC: tf-vpc
15
Internet Gateway
● Name: tf-igw.
● Attached VPC: tf-vpc
Public Route Table
● Name: tf-pub-rt
● VPC ID: aws_vpc.tfvpc.id
● Route: 0.0.0.0/0 via the Internet Gateway
(aws_internet_gateway.gw.id)..
Private Route Table
● Name: tf-pvt-rt
● VPC ID: aws_vpc.tfvpc.id
Route Table Associations
● Public Subnet is associated with tf-pub-rt.
● Private Subnet is associated with tf-pvt-rt.
For the private subnet, NAT Gateway is mandatory to enable the internet
connection. Since it occurs charges, i havent implemented its creation.
Terraform code for this configiruation is in this repository

Make a directory for storing the code file into the folder using
mkdir <directory name>
Move into the created directory using cd <directory name>
Now, using the command vim <terraform filename>, insert the code written
into it and click ESC button and type :wq to quit from the write mode
Then enter the following commands
16
terraform init - Initializes working directory, downloads providers, sets up
Terraform.
terraform plan - Shows planned changes without applying them.
terraform apply - Executes changes to match configuration.

PART 3 - Creating an S3 Bucket
The configurations of the S3 bucket which we are going to create are as follows
● Region : US.East(N.Virginia)
● Bucket type : General purpose
● Bucket name : my-first-s3-bucket
● Object ownership : ACL s Disabled [recommended]
● Disabled Block public access checkboxes
● Encryption type : Server side encryption with Amazon S3 managed
keys [SSE-S3]
● Bucket key : Enable
