This module will create an Amazon Aurora Cluster on AWS.

Examples

Getting started

AWS CLI

Follow the official guide to install and configure profiles.

After the installation is complete, you can check the aws cli version:

aws --version
aws-cli/2.5.8 Python/3.9.11 Darwin/21.4.0 exe/x86_64 prompt/off

Terraform

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure.

Install

This is the official guide for terraform binary installation. Please visit this Install Terraform website and follow the instructions.

Or, you can manually get a specific version of terraform binary from the websiate. Move to the Downloads page and look for the appropriate package for your system. Download the selected zip archive package. Unzip and install terraform by navigating to a directory included in your system's PATH.

Or, you can use tfenv utility. It is very useful and easy solution to install and switch the multiple versions of terraform-cli.

First, install tfenv using brew.

brew install tfenv

Then, you can use tfenv in your workspace like below.

tfenv install <version>
tfenv use <version>

Also this tool is helpful to upgrade terraform v0.12. It is a major release focused on configuration language improvements and thus includes some changes that you'll need to consider when upgrading. But the version 0.11 and 0.12 are very different. So if some codes are written in older version and others are in 0.12 it would be great for us to have nice tool to support quick switching of version.

tfenv list
tfenv install latest
tfenv use <version>

Setup

module "aurora" {
  source  = "Young-ook/aurora/aws"
  name    = "aurora"
  tags    = { env = "test" }
}

Run terraform:

terraform init
terraform apply
