- Here are some notes to clarify the setup
- Make sure you have installed the AWS CLI
- if you use my vagrant devops-box it is included by default
- otherwise you can download it manually from https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
- If you're on linux you can also use "sudo pip install --upgrade awscli"
- If you don't have pip, try sudo apt-get install python-pip
- There is a lecture on how to add an admin user, this need to be done to create an access key and secret key
- Use "aws configure" to enter the keys
- you can optionally specify a default region - but no worries, in terraform you can set any region you want
- Use http://www.cloudping.info/ to determine your region
- You can test whether it works by entering: aws iam get-user
- This will also show your AWS userid which you need afterwards
- Useful Commands
$ terraform plan | # plan
$ terraform apply | # shortcut for plan & apply - avoid this in production
$ terraform plan -out out.terraform | # terraform plan and write the plan to out file
$ terraform apply out.terraform | # apply terraform plan using out file
$ terraform show | # show current state
$ cat terraform.tfstate | # show state in JSON format

This is explained using MacOS/Linux. If you rather want to use putty, use the following steps to create your SSH keypair:
-
Download Putty and PuttyGen from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
-
Launch PuttyGen and click the "Generate" button to generate a new public/private key
-
You can enter a passphrase or leave it blank
-
Save the public and private keys by clicking the Save public key and Save private key buttons
