Setting up AWS account

We will be working with an AWS Lightsail instance.

Things you need to do:

Add your SSH public key to your account This is a bit tricky because to do so, you should start to create an instance in the web console, and select to upload your SSH public key file. Our default configuration expects that AWS names it id_rsa. If you have given it another name, you must change variable "key_par_name" in the main.tf file.
Get your AWS access key and secret key.

Setting your local environment and getting remote machinery ready

cd grimoirelab-infra-provision/aws

Inside grimoirelab-infra-provision/aws create a file called terraform.tfvars with the following format and content:

AWSAccessKeyId = "<YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>"
AWSSecretKey = "<YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY>"

terraform init

Let's create your AWS Ligthsail instance. It will read both your terraform.tfvars and provision.tf files.

terraform apply -var name=<GIVE_IT_A_NAME>

During the process, Terraform might ask for confirmation to apply the changes you have requested. If you want to say yes to everything, just run:

terraform apply -auto-approve -var name=<GIVE_IT_A_NAME>

At the end of the process, Terraform outputs the public IP to access to the machine you have created. Something like:

Apply complete! Resources: 2 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

public_ip = 157.245.85.159

Note: It seems you cannot open 5601 port needed by Kibana using Terraform (terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/issues/700), so you'll need to open it using your AWS Lightsail instances web interface:

You are ready for next steps
