Prepare Dependencies

Core Knowledge

To better prepare for this workshop, you should review three exercises from the AWS Study Group:

• Deploy Application on Docker Container.
• Deploy applications on Amazon Elastic Container Service.
• Deploying CI/CD with ECS Container

Completing these exercises will help you gain a strong understanding of:

• How to deploy infrastructure on AWS.
• Using RDS for database management.
• Creating ECS to run containers for applications.
• Using an Application Load Balancer to distribute load evenly.
• Setting up CI/CD to automate application updates and deployment.
• Monitoring and tracking process performance.

Once you’ve mastered these concepts, you’ll be ready to deploy infrastructure quickly with just a few lines of code using Terraform. Now, let’s dive into the workshop and explore each step together!

Installing Dependencies

To start running code in Terraform, you’ll need:

• Terraform CLI: This command-line tool helps you manage and deploy infrastructure as code.
• AWS CLI: This tool allows Terraform to interact directly with AWS services, making it easy to manage cloud resources.
