Terraform Automation Demo using AWS Cloud Provider

The purpose of this repository is to show case terraform automation for AWS Cloud. This demo will provision the following cloud resources associated to corresponding terraform configurations:

AWS Resource Terraform Resource Link to TerraHub Config
API Gateway Deployment aws_api_gateway_deployment api_gateway_deployment/.terrahub.yml#L9
API Gateway REST API aws_api_gateway_rest_api api_gateway_rest_api/.terrahub.yml#L9
IAM Role aws_iam_role iam_role/.terrahub.yml#L8
Lambda Function aws_lambda_function lambda/.terrahub.yml#L11
Security Group aws_security_group security_group/.terrahub.yml#L9
Subnet aws_subnet subnet_private/.terrahub.yml#L9
VPC aws_vpc vpc/.terrahub.yml#L7

Follow below instructions to try this out in your own AWS Cloud account.

Create IAM User

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Users and then choose Add user
  3. Type the user name for the new user
  4. Select the type of access: Programmatic access
  5. Choose Next: Permissions
  6. On the Set permissions page, choose Attach existing policies to user directly and select IAMFullAccess
  7. Choose Next: Review to see all of the choices you made up to this point
  8. Choose Create

Get Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for IAM User

  1. Open the IAM console
  2. In the navigation pane of the console, choose Users
  3. Choose your IAM user name (not the check box)
  4. Choose the Security credentials tab and then choose Create access key
  5. To see the new access key, choose Show. Your credentials will look something like this:
  • Access Key ID: AKIAIOSFODNEXAMPLEID
  • Secret Access Key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Configure AWS CLI with IAM Credentials

Run the following command in terminal:

aws configure

Your output should be similar to the one below:

AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNEXAMPLEID
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: json

NOTE: If you don't have AWS CLI, check out installation guide

Setup Environment Variables (Will Be Used Later)

Manual Setup (set values in double quotes and run the following commands in terminal):

export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=""     ## e.g. 123456789012
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="" ## e.g. us-east-1

Setup AWS_ACCOUNT_ID Programmatically

Automated Setup (run the following command in terminal):

export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID="$(aws sts get-caller-identity --output=text --query='Account')"

Setup AWS_DEFAULT_REGION Programmatically

Automated Setup (run the following command in terminal):

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="$(aws configure get region --output=text)"

Terraform Automation and Orchestration Tool

The next couple of paragraphs are show casing the process of creating terraform configurations using TerraHub CLI. We have opted to use YML format instead of HCL because it's easier and faster to customize and automate terraform runs (see terrahub component command).

Run the following commands in terminal:

terrahub --help | head -3

Your output should be similar to the one below:

Usage: terrahub [command] [options]

NOTE: If you don't have TerraHub CLI, check out installation guide

Build Terraform Configurations from Scratch

Run the following commands in terminal:

mkdir demo-terraform-automation-aws
cd demo-terraform-automation-aws
terrahub project -n demo-terraform-automation-aws

Your output should be similar to the one below:

✅ Project successfully initialized

NOTE: If you want to jump directly to terraform automation part of the demo, instead of creating demo-terraform-automation-aws from scratch, clone current repository, follow the instructions for Update TerraHub's Project Config and then jump down to Visualize TerraHub Components. This way you will fast forward through terrahub components creation and customization, and switch directly to automation part.

Update TerraHub's Project Config

Run the following commands in terminal:

terrahub configure -c terraform.version=0.11.11
terrahub configure -c template.provider.aws.region='${local.region}'
terrahub configure -c template.provider.aws.allowed_account_ids[0]='${local.account_id}'
terrahub configure -c template.locals.region="${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION}"
terrahub configure -c template.locals.account_id="${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}"

Your output should be similar to the one below:

✅ Done

Create TerraHub Components from Templates

Run the following command in terminal:

terrahub component -t aws_vpc -n vpc \
&& terrahub component -t aws_subnet -n subnet_private -o ../vpc \
&& terrahub component -t aws_security_group -n security_group -o ../vpc \
&& terrahub component -t aws_iam_role -n iam_role \
&& terrahub component -t aws_lambda_function -n lambda -o ../iam_role,../security_group,../subnet_private \
&& terrahub component -t aws_api_gateway_rest_api -n api_gateway_rest_api -o ../lambda \
&& terrahub component -t aws_api_gateway_deployment -n api_gateway_deployment -o ../api_gateway_rest_api

Your output should be similar to the one below:
