AWS VPC Management with Terraform

This repository includes Terraform configurations designed for managing an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), allowing for both creation and destruction of the infrastructure.

Prerequisites

Before utilizing these Terraform configurations, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• AWS Account: You must possess an active AWS account to create and manage resources.
• Terraform Installation: Make sure Terraform is installed on your local machine. You can download it from Terraform's official website.

Configuration

• Setting up AWS S3 Backend for Terraform: To manage Terraform state, configure an S3 bucket in your AWS account named terraform-backend-s3-github. If this name is unavailable, create a bucket with a different name and update the terraform_vpc/providers.tf file accordingly.

   backend "s3" {
     bucket = "bucket_name"
     key    = "dev/terraform.tfstate"
     region = "us-east-1"
   }

Usage

• Initialize Terraform: Begin by initializing Terraform with the following command:

  terraform init

• Create the VPC: Execute the Terraform command below to create the VPC infrastructure:

  terraform apply --auto-approve

• Destroy the VPC: When no longer needed, destroy the VPC and associated resources using the command:

  terraform destroy --auto-approve
