Terraform Test Infrastructure

This repository contains test Terraform configurations for testing deployment automation.

Structure

• backend/ - Creates S3 bucket and DynamoDB table for Terraform state management
• main/ - Main Terraform project that uses remote state and creates test AWS resources

Usage

1. Deploy Backend Infrastructure

First, deploy the backend infrastructure to create the S3 bucket for state storage:

cd backend
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

After applying, note the outputs, especially state_bucket_id.

2. Configure Main Project Backend

Update the backend configuration in main/main.tf with the values from the backend outputs:

backend "s3" {
  bucket         = "terraform-state-xxxxxxxx"  # From backend output
  key            = "terraform.tfstate"
  region         = "us-east-1"
  dynamodb_table = "terraform-state-lock-xxxxxxxx"  # From backend output
}

3. Deploy Main Infrastructure

cd main
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Resources Created

Backend Project

• S3 bucket for Terraform state with versioning and encryption
• DynamoDB table for state locking
• Proper security configurations

Main Project

• S3 bucket (fast to create)
• CloudWatch log group (fast to create)
• SSM parameter (fast to create)
• IAM role and policy (fast to create)

All resources are designed to be quick to create and destroy for testing purposes.

Cleanup

To destroy resources:

# Destroy main infrastructure first
cd main
terraform destroy

# Then destroy backend infrastructure
cd ../backend
terraform destroy
