[services] Provision EC2 Instance for Identity Service with Terraform Authored by varun on Sep 30 2022, 7:04 AM. Tags None Referenced Files
Details Currently we manually create the EC2 instances where our services (blob, backup, tunnelbroker, identity) run. We should provision them using Terraform instead. The ami selected is the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI. We use the t2.micro instance type because it is part of the free tier. Will follow this diff up with similar diffs for the other services.

Comment Actions At a high level this looks good but A. I don't have terraform installed. It doesn't seem like it is part of the nix environment yet. We should at least create a task for that before landing (CC @jon) atuls-MacBook-Pro:comm atul$ terraform validate && terraform plan bash: terraform: command not found B. Can you go into more detail in the Test Plan. Right now, even after installing terraform, I get the following: │ Error: No configuration files │ │ Plan requires configuration to be present. Planning without a configuration │ would mark everything for destruction, which is normally not what is desired. │ If you would like to destroy everything, run plan with the -destroy option. │ Otherwise, create a Terraform configuration file (.tf file) and try again. Is there a certain directory that it needs to be run in?
Comment Actions yeah it has to be run in services/terraform
Comment Actions We should also think about where we want the terraform state file to live if this will be a shared resource https://www.terraform.io/language/state Adding terraform to nix shell: https://phab.comm.dev/D5336 Comment Actions If we have sensitive data there, we could consider using a Git submodule pointing to a private repo on GitHub – I think this is probably the most simple solution | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
