This PR covers the implementation of Terraform configurations using HCL syntax as part of TerraWeek Day 2 tasks. The following changes are included:

  • Familiarized with HCL syntax: Defined Terraform blocks such as resource and provider for creating an AWS S3 bucket.
  • Introduced variables: Created a variables.tf file to define the variable bucket_name, which is then used in the main.tf file to dynamically configure the S3 bucket name.
  • Configured AWS provider: Specified the required provider for AWS and defined the region in the provider block.
  • Tested the configuration: Included steps to initialize Terraform, preview changes using terraform plan, and apply the configuration using terraform apply.

Screenshots from the execution of the terraform init, terraform plan, and terraform apply commands are included in the PR.

This work helps establish a solid foundation for creating and managing infrastructure using Terraform and HCL syntax.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce several new Terraform-related files and documentation. A comprehensive guide on Terraform is added in day01/solution.md, covering its functionalities, installation, and AWS integration. The day02/main.tf file specifies the AWS provider configuration, while day02/solution.md provides structured tasks to familiarize users with HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and practical configuration writing. Additionally, day02/variable.tf introduces a new variable for S3 bucket naming.

Poem

In the land of cloud and code,
A rabbit hops, where Terraform glowed.
With guides and tasks, we learn and play,
Building our dreams in a structured way.
Buckets named with care and cheer,
In the world of IaC, we have no fear! 🐇✨

11-13: Make AWS region configurable via variable

The region is hardcoded. Consider making it configurable through a variable to support different deployment environments.

+variable "aws_region" {
+  description = "AWS region for all resources"
+  type        = string
+  default     = "us-west-2"
+}

 provider "aws" {
-  region = "us-west-2"
+  region = var.aws_region
 }

52-77: Enhance testing configuration section with security and state management guidance

The testing configuration section should include important security considerations and state management best practices.

Add the following sections before the testing steps:

### Important Security Considerations
- Never commit sensitive credentials to version control
- Use remote state storage (e.g., S3 + DynamoDB) for team collaboration
- Enable state encryption at rest
- Use state locking to prevent concurrent modifications

### State Management
```terraform
terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket         = "terraform-state-bucket"
    key            = "day02/terraform.tfstate"
    region         = "us-west-2"
    encrypt        = true
    dynamodb_table = "terraform-state-lock"
  }
}

80-98: Add output values to the example configuration

The example configuration should demonstrate how to use output values to expose important resource attributes.

Add output values to the example:

output "bucket_id" {
  description = "The name of the bucket"
  value       = aws_s3_bucket.example.id
}

output "bucket_arn" {
  description = "The ARN of the bucket"
  value       = aws_s3_bucket.example.arn
}

207-214: Improve AMI data source example with more specific filters

The current AMI filter is too broad. Consider adding more specific filters to ensure the correct AMI is selected.

 data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" {
   most_recent = true
+  owners      = ["099720109477"] # Canonical
   filter {
     name   = "name"

+    values = ["ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-jammy-22.04-amd64-server-*"]
   }
+  filter {
+    name   = "virtualization-type"

+  filter {
+    name   = "root-device-type"
+    values = ["ebs"]

 }

1-13: Add provider authentication configuration

The AWS provider block is missing authentication configuration. While it might use default credentials, it's better to explicitly document the authentication method in the configuration.

Consider adding explicit provider authentication configuration:

provider "aws" {
  region = var.aws_region
  # Choose one of the following authentication methods:
  # 1. Shared credentials file
  shared_credentials_files = ["~/.aws/credentials"]
  profile                 = "default"
  
  # 2. Environment variables (recommended for CI/CD)
  # AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  
  # 3. IAM role (recommended for EC2 instances)
  # assume_role {
  #   role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_ID:role/ROLE_NAME"
  # }
}

Add validation block for S3 bucket naming rules

While the variable definition is good, S3 bucket names must follow strict AWS naming rules. Consider adding a validation block to ensure compliance with AWS S3 bucket naming conventions.

 variable "bucket_name" {
   description = "The name of the S3 bucket"
   type        = string
   default     = "my-default-bucket"
+  validation {
+    condition     = can(regex("^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{1,61}[a-z0-9]$", var.bucket_name))
+    error_message = "S3 bucket name must be between 3 and 63 characters, contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and cannot start or end with a hyphen."
+  }

💡 Codebase verification

Update AWS provider version to the latest stable release (5.79.0)

The current AWS provider version (5.65.0) is outdated. The latest stable version available from the Terraform Registry is 5.79.0. Updating to the latest version ensures access to bug fixes, security patches, and new features.

  • Update the version constraint in day01/solution.md:
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "5.79.0"
    }
  }
}
🔗 Analysis chain

Verify AWS provider version and add security best practices

The AWS provider version is pinned to 5.65.0. While version pinning is good practice, we should verify if this is the latest stable version.

Additionally, consider adding security best practices:

  1. Mention using AWS Vault or similar tools for secure credential management
  2. Add a note about following the principle of least privilege when assigning IAM policies
