Assignment 2 Github Repository Link:

GitHub - visaltyagi/Terraform-Assignment-2: Terraform Assignment 2

Problem (1) Solution: Destroy the previous deployment

Here, we have to destroy the resources created in “Terraform Assignment 1”.

Step 1: First, we will destroy the resources using the command: terraform destroy.

terraform destroy

Step 2: Type “yes” to destroy.

Yes

Step 3: Instance “assignment-1” has been successfully terminated. It will take approximately 30 seconds to destroy.

Resources Destroyed

Assignment 1 Instance Terminated

Problem (2) Solution: Create a new EC2 instance with an Elastic IP

Step 1: Create a main.tf file using the command: sudo nano main.tf

main.tf file

Step 2: Paste this script to create an EC2 Instance with the help of “EIP Address”.

provider "aws" {
     region="us-east-2"
     access_key="AKIAQRH4ND34WNGRNWOP"
     secret_key="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"
}

resource "aws_instance" "assignment2" {
  ami               = "ami-0b4750268a88e78e0"
  instance_type     = "t2.micro"
  tags = {
    Name = "assignment2"
  }
}

resource "aws_eip" "eip" {
  domain = "vpc"
}

resource "aws_eip_association" "eip_assoc" {
  instance_id   = aws_instance.assignment2.id
  allocation_id = aws_eip.eip.id
}

EC2 Terraform Script

Do “CTRL+X” to exit & Press “Yes” to save the content. Also, press “enter” from the keyboard for complete exit.

Step 3: Run this command to initialize the terraform: terraform init.

terraform init

Step 4: Run the “terraform plan” command to execute the plan.

terraform plan

Plan Created

Step 5: Run the “terraform apply” command to create the infrastructure.

terraform apply

Step 6: Type “yes” to create the infrastructure.

Yes

Step 7: The instance with “Elastic IP Address” has been successfully created within 30 seconds.

Instance with Elastic IP Address

Step 8: Go to the “Instance” section & your instance (assignment2) will be successfully created with Elastic IP Address (18.116.188.17).
