Authors: David Wright ([email protected]) and Tony Vattahil ([email protected])

To deploy the Terraform Amazon Aurora module, do the following:

1. Install Terraform. For instructions and a video tutorial, see Install Terraform.
2. Sign up and log into Terraform Cloud. (There is a free tier available.)
3. Configure Terraform Cloud API access. Run the following to generate a Terraform Cloud token from the command line interface:

terraform login
Export TERRAFORM_CONFIG
export TERRAFORM_CONFIG="$HOME/.terraform.d/credentials.tfrc.json"

4. Configure the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Configuring the AWS CLI.

5. If you don't have git installed, install git.

6. Clone this aws-quickstart/terraform-aws-rds_aurora repository using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/aws-quickstart/terraform-aws-rds_aurora

7. Change directory to the root repository directory.

   cd terraform-aws-rds_aurora/

8. Change to the deploy directory.

   • For a new virtual private cloud (VPC), use cd setup_workspace.
   • For an existing VPC, pass the VPC ID directly to the module.

9. To perform operations locally, do the following:

   a. Initialize the deploy directory. Run terraform init.
   b. Start a Terraform run using the configuration files in your deploy directory. Run terraform apply or terraform apply -var-file="$HOME/.aws/terraform.tfvars".

10. Change to the deploy directory with cd ../deploy.

11. Run terraform init.

12. Run terraform apply or Run terraform apply -var-file="$HOME/.aws/terraform.tfvars". Terraform apply is remotely run in Terraform Cloud.
