What's this:

This is to set up wordpress using AWS infrastructure. We are using terraform to provision infrastructure. Code uses and creates following aws services.

1. VPC and it's components
2. Subnets, Route Tables, Internet Gateway, Nat Gateway.
3. EC2 instance
4. EIP for NAT Gateway
5. RDS mysql instance.
6. Security Groups to access both EC2 and MYSQL

Note:

You may get charged by aws for using services

Pre-requisite:

1. You need to have Ssh keys generated and should be put into ~/.ssh/ , if your machine is windows then feel free to use diff path and update the same in the ssh_key variable in the vars.tf

2. create an IAM user and create security credentials(AccessKey, SecretKey) and update in the ~/.aws/credentials file like below

Note : if you have default profile, just erase the profile attribute in provider.tf

Usage:

provisioning:

1. git clone https://github.com/aleti-pavan/terraform-aws-wordpress.git
2. cd terraform-aws-wordpress
3. terraform init
4. terraform plan
5. terraform apply -auto-approve

Destroying the Infra:

1. cd terraform-aws-wordpress (Be in the repo directory)
2. terraform destroy -auto-approve
