Terraform-Ansible-AWS-Setup

Project Description

This project demonstrates how to set up a simple web server infrastructure on AWS using Terraform for provisioning and Ansible for configuration management. It is designed to showcase Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and automation.

Features

• Terraform: Provisioning of VPC, Subnets, EC2 Instances, and Security Groups.
• Ansible: Configuration management to install and configure Nginx on EC2 instances.
• CI/CD: Automated pipeline using GitHub Actions for testing and deployment.
• Advanced Features: Load balancing, auto scaling, and monitoring.

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed
• Ansible installed
• AWS account with appropriate permissions
• GitHub account

Setup Instructions

Terraform

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MSotoudeh/terraform-ansible-aws-setup.git
   cd terraform-ansible-aws-setup/terraform

2. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

3. Apply Terraform configuration:

   terraform apply
   

Ansible

1. Update the inventory file with the EC2 instance details (automatically populated by Terraform).
2. Run the Ansible playbook:

   ansible-playbook -i inventory ../ansible/playbook.yml
   

Usage

Access the web server via the public IP address of the EC2 instance.

Advanced Features

Load Balancing

This project includes an optional configuration for setting up an AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to distribute traffic across multiple EC2 instances.

Auto Scaling

Auto Scaling groups are configured to adjust the number of EC2 instances based on load, ensuring high availability and performance.

Monitoring

AWS CloudWatch is set up to monitor the infrastructure and trigger alerts based on predefined metrics.
