Infrastructure-as-a-Code

This repository contains code for provisioning the AWS Infrastructure and creating the NodeJs Application AMI

Getting started

To get the infrastructure running on AWS:

• Clone this repository
• Change directory to terraform/
• Run "terraform init" to install all the required modules from the given source
• Run "terraform apply" to see the resources to be created, after typing "yes" in console, your AWS Infrastructure will be provisioned

To build AMI for NodeJS Application(BACKEND):

• Change directory into Packer/
• Run "packer init ami.pkr.hcl" for initializing packer.
• Run "packer validate ami.pkr.hcl" for validating the configuration of this file.
• Run "packer build ami.pkr.hcl" to start creating the AMI and observe the process to know how it happens. Trust me, it's completely, MAGICAL!
