terraform building blocks for AWS vpc, route53, rds and ECS cluster/service with ALB

Some code was c&p from terraform github examples and best practices

Also this assumes you using a CI to update task definition for deploys, hint: use concourse.ci

You will need terraform 0.7.3 at least

Usage

Clone the repo:

git clone [email protected]:jespada/terraform-vpc-ecs.git

cd terraform-vpc-ecs/

Create terraform.tfvars file inside and create a symbolic link for each environment:

emacs terraform.tfvars

with the following content(of course you need to generate an ssh key pair):

access_key = "XXXYOU-ACCES_KEY_HERE-XXXXX"

secret_key = "XXXXXXXX-SECRET_KEY_HERE-XXXXXSSSS"

key_path = "/Users/jespada/.ssh/admin-app-prod"

Now create a symbolic link:

cd base/

ln -s ../terraform.tfvars

cd ..

cd prod/

ln -s ../terraform.tfvars

First time only

Check NOTE in the bottom first. Then go on with whats bellow.

Before starting, you need to tell terraform that you will store the state file on an s3 bucket (cause we decide this way, but its not a must if you are working on your own projects)

Export AWS key and secret environment variables on your terminal:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="XXXYOU-ACCES_KEY_HERE-XXXXX"

export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="XXXXXXXX-SECRET_KEY_HERE-XXXXXSSSS"

Now we instruct terraform to store stuff on s3:

make remote

Now you can perform make plan (for terraform plan) and make apply (terraform apply). Check the Makefile for more information.

NOTE

If this is the first time you are using this code and none of the resource are created (vpc, subnets, dns etc) you will need to create an s3 bucket to store terraform state files in order to do that go to base and follow the instructions.
