Initialization

Install terraform and include it in your   Environment  PATH

Do a terraform inti in the directory where you have the terraform playbooks, to download the relevant plugins


terraform init

Once we do this, then we move forward with the creation of the playbooks

We include the


aws_access_key    aws_secret_key  in the  vars

We include   the public key

The vars file is called   terraform.tfvars   or  vars.tfvars
