Infrastructure Setup for AWS Account

Initial Setup

Start the initial setup with local-Backend and the profile setting in the AWS Provider activated to use your user for setting up the IAM-Role to use subsequently.

Run the following steps:

terraform init
terraform apply # check output and confirm with yes

Afterwards, you should have createda a new role deploy that will be used to deploy remaining resources. For this, remove the comment from the assume_role-setting block in main.tf and use the created role for all steps following.

Now, let's create the state-management related resources:

terraform apply # check output and confirm with yes

Now the state-bucket and -table have been created and we can switch to a remote state. Remove the comment around backend "s3" and comment out backend "local" and run the following

terraform init

Confirm with yes when asked to and wait for the process to finish.

From now on, all state will be stored in the S3-Bucket and you can use the deploy-role for all further infrastructure deployments.
