Make sure AWSCli being installed and configured correctly (aws configure). Make sure IAM user are configured with AWS role, AWS Access key ID and AWS Secret Access Key.

Use the ami catalog, to determine the ami ID, then after make necessary changes run the init

terraform plan will show configuration to be applied once init are successful

To solve this VPC and subnet needs to be created first.

Creation of VPC completed, copy the DMZ subnet ID

Make small change to the EC2 instance of terraform file.

Rerun the terraform init, terraform plan, terraform validate before rerunning terraform apply, then type yes.

To clean up the experiment to avoid paying more, start by desstroying the instance then the VPC.

Feels like running ansible but simpler, as the tutorial of quickstart runs on docker engine.

After applying terraform, confirm the nginx is running
