Why are we doing this?

It is essential to start learning new concepts and ideas before Saturday’s session. During the week, we expect you to get stuck and form questions about the new content so you can address misconceptions during Saturday’s session. The prep work here will introduce you to the new concepts for the week.

You will need to do this prep work before tackling the coursework.

Objective

In this exercise, you will utilize a Terraform module to create a reusable configuration for S3 buckets. Additionally, you’ll implement remote state management using an S3 bucket.

Steps

1. Create a Terraform Module for S3 Buckets

   • Create a new directory named s3_module and place a new Terraform file inside it, e.g., main.tf.
   • Define the Terraform code for an S3 bucket inside this file.

2. Implement Remote State in S3

   • In your main Terraform configuration (main.tf), configure the backend for remote state using S3.

3. Initialize and Apply

   • Initialize your Terraform project.
   • Apply the configuration to create the S3 bucket using the module and configure remote state.

Validation

• Confirm that the S3 bucket was created as expected.
• Check the S3 bucket where you store the remote state to ensure that the terraform.tfstate file is present.
