Creates Terraform files for creating AWS Resources

• Creates IAM Role + Policy
• Creates EC2 Instance with TAGs (for the instance and volume)
• Creates userdata for the instance bootstrap

Inside your project's folder...

First, get Cookiecutter installed:

$ pip install "cookiecutter>=1.4.0"

Now run it against this repo:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/spacetimelabs/new_resources

You'll be prompted for some values. Provide them, then the DevOps folder will be created for you.

Answer the prompts with your own desired information. For example:

project_name [my_project]: MyBlog
devops_folder [DevOps]: DevOps
region [us-west-2]:
instance_name [New Instance]: MyBlog-Prod
ami [ami-06f2f779464715dc5]:
instance_type [t2.medium]: t2.micro
key_name [Master]:
tag_client [stl]: Internal
tag_environment [dev]: prod
tag_owner [dev1]: roger
tag_product [product1]: internal

Edit mainly the two following files to fit your needs:

• ./DevOps/ec2_userdata.sh: Contains commands which will be executed during the instance initializing process
• ./DevOps/policy_MyBlog_permissions.json: Add more policies such as S3 or ASG for the instance

For creating the resources:

$ cd DevOps
$ terraform init
$ terraform apply

To destroy all resources created:

$ terraform destroy

Warning: You'll need Terraform installed and in the path before use this template. Check https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html out

• Add configuration for creating the policy file dynamically
• Add tf file for creating S3 bucket
• Add configuration for creating PROD and STAGING resources
• Add a module for split variables from template files
