# EC2 Basic Sample
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Terraform sample project creates a single EC2 instance in the configured region.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In order to run this sample you must have an active AWS Account. As you probably know, creating resources on AWS
|
||
|
|
may result in additional charges in your bill. We recommend creating a test account to run this test as you can then use AWS's free tier
|
||
|
|
to play around. When finished, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DESTROY YOUR RESOURCES !!!
|
||
|

# Setup instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Make sure you have a working AWS environment. Use a simple command such as _aws ec2 describe-instances_ and check its output.
|
||
|
|
If you get a list of existing EC2 instances, you're good to go. Otherwise, please refer to AWS documentation in order to setup your CLI.
|
||
|
|
2. Download the Terraform package for your environment from Hashicorp's site. Unzip it and put the _terraform_ binary somewhere
|
||
|
|
in the OS's PATH.
|
||
|
|
3. Open a command prompt and _cd_ into this folder
|
||
|
|
4. Run the following commands:
|
||
|
|
'''
|
||
|
|
$ terraform init
|
||
|
|
$ terraform apply -auto-approve
|
||
|
|
'''
|
||
|
|
5. Wait until Terraform create all resources and run _aws ec2 describe-instances_. The output should list the newly creates EC2 instance
|
||
|
|
6. Run _terraform destroy_ to remove the previously creates namespace.
