The process of copying website files from an S3 bucket to EC2 instances during startup.

Terraform can access AWS services, like Elastic Container Service (ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and EC2 instance metadata.

Storing sensitive information like access keys in environment variables prevents accidentally committing them to source control.

Using the provider.tf file keeps Terraform configurations organized by separating provider configurations.

The random_integer resource generates a random integer number within a specified range.

The aws_s3_bucket resource creates S3 buckets for storing data, including website files.

The aws_s3_object resource uploads files to an existing S3 bucket.

IAM (Identity and Access Management) roles allow defining permissions for accessing AWS resources.

The aws_iam_role resource creates IAM roles granting permissions to access specific resources.

A command-line interface for managing AWS resources.

Terraform providers are small programs that extend Terraform's functionality to manage resources in various cloud providers and services.

The official Terraform provider registry offers three tiers: official, partner, and community. Official providers are maintained by HashiCorp, partner providers by HashiCorp's partner organizations, and community providers by individual contributors.

Terraform plugins use semantic versioning (e.g., 1.2.3), which indicates major, minor, and patch version numbers.

Terraform allows you to explicitly define the version of a provider plugin used in your configuration, so you can control the features and compatibility of your resources.

You can create multiple instances of a provider, each with a unique alias, to work with resources in different regions or accounts.

The Terraform block in your configuration allows you to specify general settings, including the version of Terraform and required provider plugins.

The 'required_version' argument in the Terraform block specifies the minimum and maximum allowed Terraform versions for your configuration.

The 'required_providers' block within the Terraform block defines the provider plugins needed by your configuration.

The 'source' argument in the 'required_providers' block specifies the location of the provider plugin, usually the public Terraform registry.

The 'version' argument in the 'required_providers' block defines the specific version of the provider plugin to use, which can be a fixed version, a version range, or a dynamic range.

A version constraint expression for provider plugins can be a fixed version (e.g., '1.2.3'), a range of versions (e.g., '> 1.2'), or a dynamic range that only allows the rightmost number to increment (e.g., '> 1.2', which allows 1.2.x versions).

Terraform prefers using standard provider names in the 'required_providers' block, unless you're using multiple instances with different sources.

The 'required_version' argument in the Terraform block specifies the minimum and maximum allowed Terraform versions for your configuration, ensuring compatibility between your code and the Terraform tool.

The 'required_providers' block defines the provider plugins required for the configuration, while the 'required_version' argument within the Terraform block specifies the compatible version of the Terraform tool.

A system that distributes incoming requests to multiple servers, improving performance and reliability.

Logs generated by a load balancer, containing information about incoming web requests and their processing.

A service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for storing and retrieving data, like website files and logs.

The process of automatically configuring a resource after it has been created by Terraform.

A feature in Terraform that allows you to define how resources are created and destroyed based on their dependencies.

A type of post-deployment configuration that uses Terraform's provisioner block to run scripts or commands after a resource has been created.

Using loops in Terraform allows you to create multiple instances of a resource efficiently, like servers or databases.

Functions in Terraform enable you to transform data within your configuration, making it more flexible and reusable.

A process Terraform uses to determine the order in which resources are created, updated, or deleted.

A mechanism in Terraform that allows you to specify the order of creation for resources.

An argument in a Terraform resource that defines a relationship between two resources, instructing Terraform to create one resource before the other.

A special argument in a resource or data source that provides instructions to Terraform on how to manage the resource, such as specifying dependencies.

A Terraform meta-argument that explicitly declares a dependency between resources, forcing Terraform to create a dependent resource only after the resource it depends on is created.

A collection of permissions granted to an AWS instance, defining its access rights to various AWS services.

A policy that defines permissions for an AWS role, allowing users or services to access specific resources.

A type of AWS resource responsible for granting access to AWS services and resources.

A collection of permissions granted to an AWS user or service.

A process where Terraform gathers information about existing resources and updates its internal state to match the current environment before generating an execution plan.

A process where Terraform plans the necessary changes to infrastructure based on the current state and the desired configuration.

The process of configuring AWS resources so that EC2 instances can securely access and utilize data stored in the S3 bucket.

A placeholder within a Terraform configuration file that marks a location for a future resource definition.

A file in Terraform that contains configuration settings specifically for AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service).

The process of adding comments or notes within a configuration file that explain the purpose and structure of the code.
