Pre-requisites

This walkthrough has the following pre-requisites:

Gruntwork Infrastructure as Code Library

This guide uses code from the Gruntwork Infrastructure as Code Library, as it implements most of the production-grade design for you out of the box. Make sure to read our Introduction to Gruntwork.

note

You must be a Gruntwork subscriber to access the Gruntwork Infrastructure as Code Library.

Terraform

This guide uses Terraform to define and manage all the infrastructure as code. If you’re not familiar with Terraform, check out A Comprehensive Guide to Terraform, A Crash Course on Terraform, and our Introduction to Gruntwork

AWS accounts

This guide deploys infrastructure into one or more AWS accounts. Check out the Production Grade AWS Account Structure guide for instructions. You will also need to be able to authenticate to these accounts on the CLI: check out A Comprehensive Guide to Authenticating to AWS on the Command Line for instructions.
