460degrees Technical Challenge :

IaaS Approch :

• Write, Plan, and Create Infrastructure as Code
• Provision of AWS EC2 instance as an application server.
• ec2.tf is main terraform file which inclueds all the resources for the application server.
• terraform.tfvars is the variable file which includes the supporting variable for the TF file.
• Please update the AWS access key and secret and other parameters as required.

How to Run Terraform:

• Install terraform depending upon your OS : https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
• Install terraform and initialise it in working directory, using cmd : terraform init
• Run terraform plan : The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
• Run terraform apply : When you apply the execution plan, it will ask for your confirmation before starting its operations.

Dockerize an application:

• Install docker on application server.
• Build : To build our application in a Docker container, we need to create a Dockerfile. A Dockerfile contains the instructions to build your application in a container.

  sudo docker build -t 460degree .

• Run : Run the container and make the application available on port 80 using below command :

  sudo docker run -it -p 80:5002 460degree
