terraform-examples

A reference repository of Terraform with canonical and as-simple-as-possible demonstrations of Terraform functionality and features.

Why?

At Container Solutions we find we regularly need chunks of Terraform to demonstrate something specific, such as:

A simple EC2 instance
A bespoke VPC
A Windows EC2 instance with an EBS volume

This might be to do a basic test of something, find an example to tinker with, or send to someone to get them going.

Usage

To help get started with these examples, there are scripts available in bin and in local folders.

Here’s an example run:

$ git clone https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/terraform-examples
$ cd terraform-examples
$ cd aws/aws_vpc
$ ./run.sh
Input AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
KEY
Input AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
<secret>
...

If you want to skip the manual key/id inputs, then export them.

See bin/README.md for more information.

Principles

The examples seek to be:

As simple as possible to illustrate the functionality
Self-contained (ie limited to one .tf file)
Non-conflicting (eg resource names are unique)
Clear (eg resource names are verbose and unambiguous)
