Two-tier Terraform Architecture

Overview

• Two-tier architecture (web/application tier + data tier) implemented with Terraform.
• Infrastructure-as-Code that provisions networking, compute, load balancing, and database resources.

Quick Start

1. Install Terraform (recommended version pinned in .terraform-version).
2. Configure credentials for your cloud provider (e.g., AWS profile or environment variables).
3. Initialize and plan:
   • terraform init
   • terraform plan -var-file=envs/dev.tfvars
4. Apply:
   • terraform apply -var-file=envs/dev.tfvars

Repository layout

• main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf — root Terraform config
• modules/ — reusable Terraform modules (vpc, ecs/asg, rds)
• envs/ — per-environment tfvars
• docs/ — project documentation
