Provisioning Cloud Infrastructure+Terraform
summary
Live demo uses Terraform 0.12 to provision AWS: it looks up an Ubuntu AMI, creates a security group, spins up a t2.small EC2, then replaces the default VPC with an AWS VPC module. Workflow shows plan → apply, manages state and uses the random provider for RDS creds. Final topology is a bastion, ALB with 3 web servers behind it, an RDS Postgres, and a CloudFlare DNS proxy handing HTTPS — everything deploys and serves traffic.
