# Create an EC2 using Terraform

## Steps

install terraform 

install aws cli

create a  user and give access to create an ec2

configure cli with aws config and pass in credential detials 

create a .ts file 

# terraform block

terraform {

    required_providers {

        aws = {

            source = "hashicorp/aws"

            version = "~> 2.15"

        }

    }

}

This block specifies the required providers for the Terraform configuration. In this case, it declares that the AWS provider is required, and the version should be at least 2.15, but less than 3.0.

# Provider 

provider "aws" {

    region = "us-east-1"

}

This block configures the AWS provider. It sets the AWS region to "us-east-1". You can modify the region based on your AWS environment.

# Resource Block

resource "aws_instance" "name" {

    ami           = "ami-079db87dc4c10ac91"

    instance_type = "t2.micro"

}

This block defines the AWS EC2 instance resource. The resource type is aws_instance, and it is given the name "name" (you can replace "name" with a more meaningful identifier).

ami specifies the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) ID to use for the instance. In this example, it's set to "ami-079db87dc4c10ac91", which is a specific AMI. You might want to replace this with the AMI ID that suits your needs.

instance_type specifies the type of the EC2 instance. In this case, it's set to "t2.micro", which is a cost-effective instance type suitable for low to moderate traffic.

# Notes

Notes

Before applying this configuration, ensure that you have AWS credentials configured on your machine.

Run terraform init to initialize the Terraform configuration.

Run terraform apply to create the specified AWS resources.
