AWS | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer (original) (raw)

Build, change, and destroy AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Step-by-step, command-line tutorials will walk you through the Terraform basics for the first time.

1. 3min
   What is Infrastructure as Code with Terraform?
   Learn how infrastructure as code lets you safely build, change, and manage infrastructure. Try Terraform.
2. 9min
   Install Terraform
   Install Terraform on Mac, Linux, or Windows by downloading the binary or using a package manager (Homebrew or Chocolatey). Then create a Docker container locally by following a quick-start tutorial to check that Terraform installed correctly.
3. 11min
   Build infrastructure
   Authenticate to AWS and create an EC2 instance under the AWS free tier. Write and validate Terraform configuration, initialize a configuration directory, and plan and apply a configuration to create infrastructure.
4. 4min
   Change infrastructure
   Modify EC2-instance configuration to use a different Ubuntu version. Plan and apply the changes to re-provision a new instance that reflects the new configuration. Learn how Terraform handles infrastructure change management.
5. 2min
   Destroy infrastructure
   Destroy AWS infrastructure managed by Terraform. Evaluate the plan and confirm the destruction.
6. 4min
   Define input variables
   Declare your AWS EC2 instance name as a variable. Reference the variable in Terraform configuration. Define variables using command line flags and default values.
7. 3min
   Query data with outputs
   Declare output values to display an EC2 instance's ID and public IP address. Display all outputs and query specific outputs. Define what data stored in Terraform state is relevant to the operator or end user.
8. 8min
   Store remote state
   Configure Terraform to store state in HCP Terraform. Add a remote state block directly to configuration or set an environment variable to load remote state configuration when Terraform initializes.
