IAM Stands for Identity Access Management

IAM allows us to manage users, groups, roles, permissions, and their level of access to the AWS Console.

  1. Let’s setup Terraform with Visual Studio Code (basic code editor)
  • First you need to install Terraform on your local or remote machine using https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html & follow the instructions for the installation.
  • Then install Visual Studio Code using https://code.visualstudio.com/download according to your OS type & go to the Extensions on left & install HashiCorp Terraform Plugin.
  • Then create a file in Visual Studio Code, called Main.tf(or whatever you feel like depending if you wanna keep every block separate) copy & paste, then set default region & create access key in your AWS account and provide access key & secret key to authorize Terraform to function with your AWS account.
provider "aws" {
  region     = "us-west-2"
  access_key = "my-access-key"
  secret_key = "my-secret-key"
}
