  • Prerequisites
Challenge

Create a Working Environment

You will connect to an EC2 instance where you will run Terraform commands. You will also create an isolated Terraform project directory on the EC2 instance where your VPC Terraform project will reside.

Challenge

Initialize Backend and Provider Configurations

You will first create a Terraform backend configuration for your project, as well as an AWS Terraform provider configuration. You will also initialize the Terraform project directory to prepare for creating resources in the following challenges.

Challenge

Create a Terraform Execution Plan

You will use Terraform's planning ability to check whether the VPC execution plan matches the expectation, without making any real changes to the infrastructure.

Challenge

Apply a Terraform Execution Plan

You will create a basic VPC by applying a Terraform execution plan, and verifying its presence via AWS Console.

Challenge

Add a Tag to the VPC

You will add tags to better identify the VPC. You will also validate whether these tags have been correctly applied.

Challenge

Add Private and Public Subnets

You will expand the VPC by adding private and public subnets, along with route tables and an Internet Gateway. You will also plan and apply a large Terraform execution plan, and validate VPC components created.

Challenge

Write Dynamic Terraform Configuration

In this challenge, you will use availability zone data source to use attribute references for dynamic Terraform configuration. You will also learn how to create and use output values for the project.
