Configuring Terraform to deploy into LocalStack



This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by DarkEdges

From our previous article we have successfuly registered and deployed LocalStack. Now we are planning to deploy our API onto LocalStack using AWS Fargate via Terraform, but we need to deploy some supporting services first, such as the core Terraform configuration.

Terraform

We are going to be using terraform to manage our state so lets create the terraform directory and place the following file _provider.tf

provider "aws" {
  region     = "us-east-1"
  access_key = "test"
  secret_key = "test"

  endpoints {
    acm                      = "http://localhost:4566"
    amplify                  = "http://localhost:4566"

}

We can test it is working by performing the following

terraform init
terraform plan

If all went well we should see

terraform init

Initializing the backend...
Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding hashicorp/aws versions matching "6.9.0"...
- Installing hashicorp/aws v6.9.0...
- Installed hashicorp/aws v6.9.0 (signed by HashiCorp)
Terraform has created a lock file .terraform.lock.hcl to record the provider
selections it made above. Include this file in your version control repository
so that Terraform can guarantee to make the same selections by default when
you run "terraform init" in the future.

Terraform has been successfully initialized!

You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.

If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.

terraform plan

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.
