terraform-aws-bootstrap

A bootstrap project to kickstart a Terraform AWS component.

This setup follows the Micro Stack pattern from Infrastructure as Code, 2nd Edition, p62. Every single infrastructure component of an application/service maps to a single stack.

Public Cloud

AWS.

Environments

Assumes three environments:

• development
• test
• production

Each environment has its own set of configurations ./environments/<env>.tfvar.

Environments map to Terraform workspaces.

Backend

The Terraform state is stored in an S3 bucket.

Either a single S3 bucket for all workspaces (environments).

Or one S3 bucket per environment.

Apply

To apply a configuration:

make plan env=<env>
make apply

where <env> is one of development, test or production.
