In this blog post, we are going to explain how to create S3 Bucket using Terraform Script from CLI. This is one of the first blog posts on the Terraform blog series we have planned to publish in this blog. We are providing consulting services for Terraform and also helping companies to write Terraform scripts<\/strong> to provision infrastructure as they need.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any questions related to this article, please write it in the comments section or contact us for more information. We would be happy to help you in learning more about Terraform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/b>The objective of this Terraform script is to teach you the basics of how to write and execute Terraform script and an introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IaC).<\/span><\/p>\n

Create S3 Bucket Using Terraform CLI Commands<\/h2>\n

Prerequisites<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here is the prerequisite to execute the scripts given in this blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Access key ID & Secret Access Key of your AWS IAM User’s.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. AWS IAM User must have an AWS IAM role with S3 permissions<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. This example is written using the Visual Studio Code<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Steps To Create S3 Bucket Using Terraform<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Here is the list of steps that would help you to write and execute the simple Terraform script that will create a S3 bucket in the backend.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 1: Create a module folder in the local<\/b><\/h4>\n

    If you<\/span> look at the below screenshot, this is the project that is used for writing the terraform scripts in our local project. The first step is to create a \u201cmodules\u201d folder where we store all the terraform scripts that are used for creating S3 buckets. This folder will be referred from outside files.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Module<\/p>\n

    If you look at the above screenshot, we have created two files under the \u201cmodules\u201d folder:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. s3.tf<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. var.tf<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The next step is to write the configuration parameter inside the scripts. Let\u2019s move on to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Step 2: Add Bucket Configurations<\/b><\/h4>\n

      As we have explained, this example is to create an S3 bucket. We have to write the required configurations to create S3 buckets in the AWS infrastructure using the code.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Here is the script written for creating the S3 bucket:<\/span><\/p>\n
