Terraform Labs

This repository contains my personal Terraform projects and infrastructure automation labs. It serves as a hands-on environment for exploring Terraform best practices, cloud automation, and infrastructure as code (IaC).

Project Structure

Each directory in this repository represents a separate Terraform lab or module.

1. AWS-Lab -> Work In Progress

• Deploy AWS 3 tier architecture with dedicated vpc and select cidr range, db & app private tier, public web tier, and bastion public subnet across single/multi-region/az, with load balancing and auto scaling, observability
• Deploy flavours of aws rds/aurora database configurations that demonstrate maa best practise

---

Requirements

To use these Terraform configurations, ensure you have the following installed:

• Terraform (latest version)

• AWS CLI (aws configure for authentication)

• An AWS account with necessary IAM permissions

  Connect Aurora/RDS:

  • Generate an RDS IAM Token from the Bastion Host:

    aws rds generate-db-auth-token \
     --hostname <aurora-cluster-endpoint-name> \
     --port 5432 \
     --region us-east-1 \
     --username iam_db_user

  • Connect using psql:

    PGPASSWORD=$(aws rds generate-db-auth-token \
     --hostname <aurora-cluster-endpoint-name> \
     --port 5432 \
     --region us-east-1 \
     --username iam_db_user) \
     psql "host=<aurora-cluster-endpoint-name> user=iam_db_user dbname=auroradb sslmode=require"
