How to run it

First you should go to Terraform website (https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) and download the correct binary for your OS and follow the instructions.

And then simply runterraform apply

Project files

main.tf

Contains the creation of the infrastructure, it creates the connection to AWS, in order to create the instances and security groups in use for those instances.

variables.tf

Contains all the variables that are used in the main file.

output.tf

Contains all the outputs that will be shown once the terraform apply command exits. In this file you can print all the useful data from the infrastructure that you just created.

Configuration specific files

*.auto.tfvars

Contains all the values that will override the variable defined in variables.tf file.
In the variables file, there are two kinds of variables, the required (The ones equal to {}) or the optional (The ones that has a default value set)
Those values can be overriden in a key = value format.
For example, to override the AWS_ACCESS_KEY var, you need to write something like this in your .auto.tfvars file:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY = "SUPERSTRONGANDAWESOMEACCESSKEY"
