To enhance readability, this handbook is divided into chapters and split into parts. The first, part, “A step-by-step guide for AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform: HA, ALB, VPC, and Route53 — Part 1”, and the second part “A step-by-step guide for AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform: HA, CloudFront, WAF, and SSL Certificate — Part 2”, and “A step-by-step guide for AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform: Cloud Cost Optimization, AWS EC2 Spot Instances — Part 3”, was covered in a separate article to keep the reading time manageable and ensure focused content. The next part or chapter will be published in the next post, upcoming in a few days, “A step-by-step guide for AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform: VPC peering, VPN, Site-to-site Connection, tunnels ( multi-Cloud ) — Part 4 “ and so much more !!
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for provisioning AWS EC2 instances using Terraform, focusing on high availability, load balancing, and secure networking. By leveraging Terraform, users can automate the setup of an AWS environment that includes a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with multiple subnets, an Application Load Balancer (ALB) for distributing traffic, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) for enhanced security, and Route 53 for DNS management. The configuration ensures that the infrastructure is scalable, resilient, and secure, adhering to best practices for cloud deployments.
Through detailed steps and modular Terraform configurations, the guide covers the creation of essential AWS resources such as VPC, subnets, security groups, EC2 instances, ALB, WAF, and Route 53 records. Users will gain hands-on experience in setting up a robust AWS environment, capable of handling high traffic and ensuring availability. The guide is tailored for individuals with a basic understanding of AWS services and Terraform, offering a practical approach to deploying cloud infrastructure efficiently and effectively.
