Hello World!

Today we are going to build a web server and a DMZ with Terraform.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of a DMZ, is the 38th parallel of the Korean Peninsula which divides North Korea and South Korea.

Lets first find out what is a DMZ?

In terms of network security the DMZ aka the Demilitarized Zone serves to improve the security of an organization’s network by segregating devices, such as computers and servers, on the opposite sides of a firewall.

All services accessible to users on communicating from an external network can and should be placed in the DMZ, if one is used. One of the most common service placed in the DMZ is the Web server.

A DMZ divides the network into 2 parts, by taking devices from inside the firewall and then putting them outside the firewall.

The web server can then interact with internal database server through an application firewall or directly, while still falling under the umbrella of the DMZ protections.

LETS GET TO THE FUN PART!!!
