AWS

Create a IAM User

⚠️ Don´t use your AWS root account!

If not already done, create an IAM User.

Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ and add a new User. Create access key.

Install and configure AWS CLI

Follow the instructions here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/awscli

brew install awscli

• Configure the AWS CLI with credentials, so it can access the API

  aws configure

• get the AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key for the IAM user from the formerly created IAM user
• choose an appropriate supported region
  • (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html)
  • I use Europe (Frankfurt), so use eu-central-1
• use default output format json

Here are the Terraform examples.
