Apache Web Server Deployment on AWS EC2

This repository contains Terraform scripts and Ansible playbooks for automating the deployment of an Apache web server on an AWS EC2 instance.

Overview

This project demonstrates Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles by using Terraform to provision an EC2 instance and Ansible to configure and deploy an Apache web application stack.

Technologies Used

• Terraform: For provisioning the AWS EC2 instance and related infrastructure.
• Ansible: For automating the installation, configuration, and deployment of the Apache web server.
• AWS EC2: For hosting the web server.
• Git: For version control.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed and configured:

• AWS CLI: Configured with your AWS credentials.
• Terraform: Installed and configured.
• Ansible: Installed and configured.
• Git: Installed and configured.
• An AWS account.
• An SSH key pair for accessing the EC2 instance.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/krithikakartik17/Apache-Web-Server.git](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://github.com/krithikakartik17/Apache-Web-Server.git)
   cd Apache-Web-Server

2. Terraform Deployment:

   • Initialize Terraform:

     terraform init

   • Apply the Terraform configuration:

     terraform apply

   • This will create an EC2 instance. You can view the public IP address of your EC2 instance on AWS Console.

3. Ansible Deployment:

   • Update the Ansible inventory file (hosts) with the public IP address of your EC2 instance.

   • Ensure your SSH private key path is correct in the hosts file.

   • Run the Ansible playbook:

     ansible-playbook -i hosts install_apache.yml

   • This will install and configure Apache on the EC2 instance and deploy a basic index.html file.

4. Access the Web Server:

   • Open a web browser and navigate to the public IP address of your EC2 instance.
