AWS Infrastructure Engineer Assessment

Goals

Create a Terraform configuration that will:

• Provision a pool of micro EC2 servers running nginx on Ubuntu 22.04
• The servers should be placed in an auto-scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer
• The servers should not be directly accessible on any port except TCP/22 for SSH access
• HTTP and HTTPS traffic should only be allowed via the Application Load Balancer
• Upon first boot, each EC2 server should update itself to the latest packages available in APT
• nginx should respond on HTTP port 80 to GET / with Content-Type: text/plain and the response body Hello World

Getting Started

• Create an account on https://code.livelike.com
• Fork this repository to your account
• When completed, open a Pull Request to this main repository
• Describe the intent of the code and the approach taken in the Pull Request description

Guidelines

• Be sure to commit any relevant files so that the configuration can be tested as-is by just running terraform apply
• Use terraform fmt and terraform fmt -check to ensure the Terraform configuration is properly formatted and valid
