Exercise 1: Basic Terraform Configuration

Objective: Create a basic Terraform configuration to deploy an AWS EC2 instance.

Task:

1. Write a Terraform configuration to deploy a single EC2 instance in AWS.


2. Use the aws_instance resource.
3. Set the instance type to t2.micro.
4. Use the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI.
5. Define the AWS region as us-east-1.

Solution:

# Configure the AWS provider


provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

# Fetch the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI


data "aws_ami" "latest_amazon_linux" {
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
filter {
name = "name"
values = ["amzn2-ami-hvm-*-x86_64-gp2"]
}
}

# Create an EC2 instance


resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = data.aws_ami.latest_amazon_linux.id
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

Commands to Run:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Exercise 2: Managing Terraform State

Objective: Explore the Terraform state by viewing and understanding the state file.

Task:

1. Create a configuration that defines an AWS S3 bucket.


2. Apply the configuration.
3. Use terraform show and terraform state list commands to explore the state.

Solution:
# Configure AWS provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

# Create an S3 bucket
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name-123"
acl = "private"
}

Commands to Run:

terraform init
terraform apply
terraform show
terraform state list

Exercise 3: Variables and Outputs

Objective: Use input variables and output values in your configuration.

Task:

1. Create a variable for the EC2 instance type.


2. Create a variable for the AWS region.
3. Output the public IP address of the EC2 instance.

Solution:

# Variables
variable "instance_type" {
description = "EC2 instance type"
type = string
default = "t2.micro"
}

variable "aws_region" {
description = "AWS region"
type = string
default = "us-east-1"
}

# Provider configuration
provider "aws" {
region = var.aws_region
}

# Fetch the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI


data "aws_ami" "latest_amazon_linux" {
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
filter {
name = "name"
values = ["amzn2-ami-hvm-*-x86_64-gp2"]
}
}

# EC2 instance resource


resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = data.aws_ami.latest_amazon_linux.id
instance_type = var.instance_type
}

# Output the public IP


output "instance_public_ip" {
value = aws_instance.example.public_ip
}

Commands to Run:

terraform init
terraform apply

Exercise 4: Using Data Sources

Objective: Fetch data using data sources in Terraform.

Task:

1. Use a data source to fetch information about an existing AWS VPC.


2. Output the VPC ID.

Solution:

# AWS provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

# Data source to fetch VPC details


data "aws_vpc" "default" {
default = true
}

# Output VPC ID
output "vpc_id" {
value = data.aws_vpc.default.id
}

Commands to Run:

terraform init
terraform apply

Exercise 5: Managing Resources with terraform destroy

Objective: Learn to destroy resources with Terraform.


Task:

1. Create a resource, such as an S3 bucket.


2. Use terraform destroy to remove the resource.

Solution:

# AWS provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

# Create an S3 bucket
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
bucket = "my-unique-bucket-to-delete"
acl = "private"
}

Commands to Run:

terraform init
terraform apply
terraform destroy

Exercise 6: Terraform Format and Validate

Objective: Practice using terraform fmt and terraform validate to ensure code quality.

Task:

1. Write a basic Terraform configuration for an EC2 instance.


2. Use terraform fmt to format your code.
3. Use terraform validate to check for syntax errors.

Solution:

# AWS provider configuration


providers "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

# EC2 instance resource


resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0" # Example AMI ID
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

Commands to Run:

terraform fmt
terraform validate
terraform apply
