Introduction

Infrastructure as code to deploy a React application to AWS as an Amplify service.

Pre-Requisites

1. Install AWS & Terraform CLI
2. IAM User with secret access keys (Reccomened by AWS not to use the root user). This will need the AdministratorAccess-Amplify permission policy at minimum
3. Obtain your personal Github PAT

Steps

1. Use the IAM user via the AWS CLI. To set this, type aws configure and enter the the Access Key ID (Accessible from IAM->Users->Access Key) and the Access Secret Key (Can be viewed only once when generated).
2. Create a values.tfvars with the following properties

region       = "" # Chosen region
access_token = "" # Github PAT
repository   = "" # Url link
app_name     = "" # Name of repo
branch_name  = "" # Branch to deploy

Commands

View changes without actioning

terraform plan -var-file=values.tfvars

Apply changes. Once this completes the application will be viewable in the AWS console

terraform apply -var-file=values.tfvars

Deletes the Amplify app from AWS console.

terraform destroy -var-file=values.tfvars

BUGS TODO

• Apply works as expected, however this does not kick off a build automatically.
