Deploying Python Flask Application on AWS Cloud using Terraform Provisioners

Overview

This project automates the deployment of a Docker container of a Python Flask application on AWS EC2 instances using Terraform Provisioners. It creates a streamlined and consistent deployment pipeline, leveraging AWS infrastructure components such as VPCs, subnets, security groups, and EC2 instances.

Project Features

• Automated Deployment: Deploys a simple Flask application to AWS EC2 instances.
• Infrastructure as Code: Utilizes Terraform to define and provision AWS resources.
• Consistency: Ensures repeatable and consistent deployments.

Requirements

• Terraform: Ensure you have Terraform installed on your local machine. You can download it from terraform.io.
• AWS Account: You need an AWS account to provision resources.
• AWS CLI: Optionally, you can install the AWS CLI to manage AWS resources from the command line.
