AWS Organization Example

About

This repository contains all the necessary code to create:

• AWS organization with three accounts:
  • users
  • staging
  • production
• IAM groups and roles for developers,
• S3 bucket & DynamoDB table for Terraform backend.

Quickstart

1. Substitute the dummy values in locals.tf.
2. Optionally add users to users.tf, detailed instructions on that are in adding-a-user.md.
3. Initialize the Terraform and apply plan:

   $ terraform init
   $ terraform apply
   

4. Commit the state in terraform.tfstate to your repository and you're done!
