Deploying ContentSphere Infrastructure on AWS
Business Scenario
Manager:
We have successfully provisioned the basic infrastructure for ContentSphere using Terraform. Now, we need to deploy this infrastructure on AWS and verify that all resources are created correctly.
DevOps Engineer:
That's correct. We will use Terraform to apply our infrastructure configuration and automate the deployment of AWS resources.
Manager:
What are the benefits of deploying infrastructure this way?
DevOps Engineer:
It ensures consistency, reduces manual errors, enables faster deployments, and allows us to manage infrastructure through version-controlled code.
Manager:
What is our deployment plan?
DevOps Engineer:
We will initialize Terraform, validate the configuration, review the execution plan, and apply the changes to deploy the ContentSphere infrastructure on AWS.
DevOps Engineer to Team:
Team, we will execute the Terraform workflow, deploy the required AWS resources, verify successful provisioning, and ensure the ContentSphere infrastructure is operational and ready for application deployment.
Team:
Understood. We will deploy the ContentSphere infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and validate that all resources are functioning correctly in the cloud environment.
Pre-Lab Preparation
-
AWS Account is available.
-
AWS CLI is installed and configured.
-
Terraform is installed.
-
EC2 Key Pair is available.
-
Basic understanding of Terraform resources.
-
Basic understanding of AWS VPC, EC2, and S3.
Task 1: Create Terraform Project
1
Create a project directory
mkdir contentsphere-infra
cd contentsphere-infra
2
Create a Terraform configuration file
touch main.tf
Task 2:Configure AWS Provider
1
Open the main.tf file
vi main.tf
2
Add the AWS provider configuration
Get The aws provider configuration from official link of terraform
Task 3: Create ContentSphere VPC
1
Add the following VPC resource to the configuration file
resource "aws_vpc" "contentsphere_vpc" {
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
tags = {
Name = "ContentSphere-VPC"
}
}
2
Initialize Terraform
terraform init
3
Review the execution plan.
terraform plan
4
Provision the VPC.
terraform apply
Type: yes
Task 4: Create ContentSphere EC2 Instance
1
Add the EC2 configuration.
resource "aws_instance" "contentsphere_server" {
ami = "ami-xxxxxxxx"
instance_type = "t3.micro"
tags = {
Name = "ContentSphere-Server"
}
}

2
Deploy the EC2 instance
terraform apply
3
Verify the EC2 instance from the AWS Console.
Navigate to: EC2 → Instances
Verify the instance state is: Running
Task 5: Create ContentSphere S3 Bucket
1
Add the S3 bucket resource.
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "contentsphere_bucket" {
bucket = "contentsphere-demo-bucket-unique"
}
2
Apply the changes.
terraform apply
3
Verify the S3 bucket.
Navigate to: AWS Console → S3
Verify the bucket is created successfully.
Task 6: Verify Infrastructure Deployment
1
List Terraform-managed resources.
terraform state list
Expected Output:
aws_vpc.contentsphere_vpc
aws_instance.contentsphere_server
aws_s3_bucket.contentsphere_bucket
Great job!
-
Configured Terraform to work with AWS.
-
Created a VPC for network isolation.
-
Provisioned an EC2 instance for application hosting.
-
Created an S3 bucket for content storage.
-
Verified infrastructure deployment using Terraform and AWS Console.
Checkpoint
Next-Lab Preparation
- Learn Terraform remote state management using AWS S3 and DynamoDB.
- Configure remote backend and enable state locking for secure team collaboration.
- Understand centralized Terraform state storage and infrastructure sharing.
