If you want to override the default variables in variables.tf, copy terraform.tfvars.sample to terraform.tfvars and fill in your specific information.

1. Initialize the Terraform directory (.terraform/) by running terraform init
2. Create the Terraform execution plan by running terraform plan
3. If everything looks correct, you can apply the Terraform changes by running terraform apply and typing yes when prompted.
4. From your web browser, access the public_ip displayed from the successful terraform apply to finish configuring WordPress.
5. If this is NOT production and you are finished testing, you can destroy the infrastructure by running terraform destroy and typing yes when prompted.

1. cd rds
2. terraform init
3. terraform plan
4. terraform apply
5. You can find your randomly generated RDS password encrypted in Systems Manager > Parameter Store.

• For HTTPS see Let's Encrypt with Docker
• The default AWS Security Group restricts SSH/HTTP/HTTPS to your ISP's address. You can change that in sg.tf
• This is by no means a production grade, high availability (HA) deployment of WordPress. To achieve that outcome, I would look at a reference architectures such as ECS or EKS and codify the additional Terraform resources.
• Thank you to ksatirli for the Terraform linting best practices.
