Hello, DevOps enthusiasts! Welcome to Day 64 of the #90DaysOfDevOpsChallenge. Today, we're diving into provisioning AWS resources using Terraform. We'll walk through each step with clear explanations and plenty of emojis to keep things fun! 🌟

Prerequisites 🛠️

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

Install Terraform:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gnupg software-properties-common curl
curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install terraform
terraform -version

AWS CLI Installed 🖥️ The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With this tool, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.

Install AWS CLI:
```
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo snap install aws-cli --classic
 aws --version
 aws configure
```
AWS IAM User 🔐 AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You'll need an IAM user with access keys to connect Terraform with your AWS account.

Export AWS Access Keys:
```
 export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your_access_key>
 export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your_secret_access_key>
```

Step 1: Initialize Terraform Configuration ⚙️

Create a new directory for your Terraform project:
```
 mkdir terraform-aws-demo
 cd terraform-aws-demo
```
📁 Directory created!
Create amain.tf file:
```
 touch main.tf
```
📝 File created!

Add the required providers block inmain.tf:

 terraform {
   required_providers {
     aws = {
       source  = "hashicorp/aws"
       version = "~> 4.16"
     }
   }
   required_version = ">= 1.2.0"
 }

📜 Configuration added!

Add the AWS provider block specifying your region:
```
 provider "aws" {
   region = "us-east-1"
 }
```
🌍 Region set!

Step 2: Provision an AWS EC2 Instance 🖥️

Add the EC2 instance resource inmain.tf:

 resource "aws_instance" "aws_ec2_test" {
   count         = 4
   ami           = "ami-08c40ec9ead489470"
   instance_type = "t2.micro"
   tags = {
     Name = "TerraformTestServerInstance"
   }
 }

🛠️ EC2 instance configuration added!

Your main.tf file should now look like this:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 4.16"
    }
  }
  required_version = ">= 1.2.0"
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
}

resource "aws_instance" "aws_ec2_test" {
  count         = 4
  ami           = "ami-00beae93a2d981137"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  tags = {
    Name = "TerraformTestServerInstance"
  }
}

Step 3: Initialize and Apply the Configuration 💻

Initialize your Terraform configuration:
```
 terraform init
```
🏁 Initialization complete!
Apply the Terraform configuration to provision the AWS resources:
```
 terraform apply
```
Review the execution plan and confirm by typing yes. ✔️
