In this session, we review the EC2 module task from Session 6 and introduce the VPC module task. Participants gain insights into modular design in Terraform, focusing on creating reusable configurations for AWS resources. We walk through the EC2 module implementation, showcasing dynamic key pair generation, tagging with the merge function, and best practices for defining outputs.
The session transitions into the new assignment, where participants learn to create a VPC module with Terraform. Key concepts include:
Dynamically generating public and private subnets using for_each.
Configuring an internet gateway and route tables.
Linking EC2 and VPC modules for cohesive infrastructure management.
This hands-on session emphasizes practical applications of Terraform to manage infrastructure as code (IaC) effectively.
