AWS RDS Aurora Module

Terraform Amazon Aurora

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

--For Mac/Linux
export TERRAFORM_CONFIG="$HOME/.terraform.d/credentials.tfrc.json"

--For Windows
export TERRAFORM_CONFIG="$HOME/AppData/Roaming/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-ia/terraform-aws-rds-aurora repository using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-rds-aurora.git

7. Change directory to the root repository directory.

   cd terraform-aws-rds-aurora/

8. For setting up a new terraform workspace:

   • cd setup_workspace
   • terraform init
   • terraform apply

9. To create new VPC and deploy Aurora module:

   • Change to the deploy directory. Run cd ../deploy
   • Initialize the deploy directory. Run terraform init.
   • Start a Terraform run using the configuration files in your deploy directory. Run terraform apply or terraform apply -var-file="$HOME/.aws/terraform.tfvars" (Note: The deployment is remotely run in Terraform Cloud)

   For existing VPCs, pass the list of private subnets (var.Private_subnet_ids_p & var.Private_subnet_ids_s) directly to the Aurora module.
