# Create an S3 Bucket with Terraform
This repo contains a small Terraform configuration that provisions a single, private Amazon S3 bucket with public access blocked.
It’s a minimal example of using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to create secure AWS storage in a repeatable way.
## What This Project Does
* Uses the AWS provider in Terraform
* Creates one S3 bucket
* Applies an `aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block` resource so the bucket:
* Blocks public ACLs
* Ignores any public ACLs
* Blocks public bucket policies
* Restricts public buckets
* Outputs the bucket’s domain name after `apply`
There are no uploads, IAM roles, or advanced policies here on purpose. This is a focused, entry-level infrastructure exercise.
## Why This Matters
Manually creating buckets in the console is fine for one-offs, but it:
- Is easy to misconfigure (especially security settings)
- Doesn’t scale across accounts/environments
- Is hard to review or reproduce
With Terraform, you:
- Capture the bucket config in code
- Enforce secure defaults (no public access)
- Can recreate the same bucket in another region or account with minimal changes
## Prerequisites
To run this yourself, you’ll need:
- An AWS account
- AWS credentials configured (via `aws configure` or environment variables)
- Terraform installed (v1.x)
Your IAM user/role should have permissions for:
- `s3:CreateBucket`, `s3:PutBucket`, `s3:GetBucket`, `s3:DeleteBucket`
- Any required account-level S3 actions depending on your org policies
## How to Use
By default this uses `us-west-1`. You can change the region in `main.tf`.
1. Clone the repo and change directory
```bash
git clone https://github.com/joeycloudio/terraform-s3-setup.git
cd terraform-s3-setup
```
2. Set your AWS region (optional)
In `main.tf`, update the region value in the provider "aws" block if you want a different region.
3. Initialize Terraform
```bash
terraform init
```
4. Preview the changes
```bash
terraform plan
```
Update the `bucket` name in `aws_s3_bucket.my_bucket` to a globally unique value before running `terraform apply`.
5. Apply the configuration
```bash
terraform apply
```
Type yes when prompted.
After apply, Terraform will output the bucket_domain_name.
6. Verify in the AWS console
* Go to the S3 console
* Confirm the bucket exists with the name in `main.tf`
* Check the “Block public access” settings are enabled
9. Destroy when you’re done
```bash
terraform destroy
```
This cleans up the bucket so you don’t leave unused resources lying around.
