🚀 Tech Eazy DevOps – EC2 Deployment Automation using Terraform

This project automates the deployment of an AWS EC2 instance using Terraform and a User Data script that installs Java, Maven, clones a Spring Boot app from GitHub, builds it, and runs it automatically.

---

🧩 Project Overview

Objective:
Automate the entire workflow of provisioning infrastructure and deploying an application on AWS EC2 using Terraform.

Includes:

• Multi-environment setup (Dev & Prod)
• EC2 instance provisioning
• User data automation (Java + Maven installation)
• Application auto-deployment from GitHub
• Clean destroy with terraform destroy

---

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before running this project, make sure you have:

1. AWS Account (with access key and secret key)
2. AWS CLI installed and configured

   aws configure

Terraform installed

terraform -version git --version

📂 Project Structure Tech_eazy_devops/ │ ├── main.tf # EC2 instance and provider configuration ├── variables.tf # Variables used in Terraform ├── outputs.tf # Output values (e.g., public IP) ├── user_data.sh # Script that runs on EC2 startup ├── dev_config.tfvars # Dev environment config ├── prod_config.tfvars # Prod environment config └── README.md # Documentation

⚙️ Step-by-Step Deployment Guide 1️⃣ Clone the Repository git clone https://github.com//Tech_eazy_devops.git cd Tech_eazy_devops

2️⃣ Configure AWS Credentials Run: aws configure

Enter:

AWS Access Key ID

AWS Secret Access Key

Default region (e.g. ap-south-1)

Output format: json

3️⃣ Initialize Terraform terraform init

This downloads the AWS provider and sets up your local environment.

4️⃣ Select Environment For Dev: terraform plan -var-file="dev_config.tfvars" terraform apply -var-file="dev_config.tfvars" -auto-approve

For Prod: terraform plan -var-file="prod_config.tfvars" terraform apply -var-file="prod_config.tfvars" -auto-approve

5️⃣ Wait for EC2 Instance to Launch Terraform will print the Public IP after creation, e.g.: Outputs:

public_ip = "13.232.xxx.xxx"

6️⃣ Test the Application Once the instance is up, open your browser and visit: http://<PUBLIC_IP>:8080

You should see your Spring Boot application running 🎉

7️⃣ (Optional) Connect via SSH ssh -i "terra-key-ec2.pem" ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>

You can check running processes: ps aux | grep java

8️⃣ Destroy the Infrastructure To avoid extra AWS charges: terraform destroy -var-file="dev_config.tfvars" -auto-approve

🧠 Notes

Make sure your security group allows inbound rules for:

Port 22 (SSH)

Port 8080 (HTTP)

The user_data.sh script handles:

System update

Java & Maven installation

App clone + build + run

📜 user_data.sh Breakdown #!/bin/bash sudo apt update -y sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk -y sudo apt install maven -y

cd /home/ubuntu git clone https://github.com/Trainings-TechEazy/test-repo-for-devops.git cd test-repo-for-devops

mvn clean package nohup java -jar target/techeazy-devops-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar > app.log 2>&1 &

Would you like me to include a “multi-environment folder structure” version (like /env/dev/ and /env/prod/) inside the README for extra professionalism?
That’s often asked in real DevOps project submissions.
