EC2 Repository
This repository contains a collection of files for managing and working with Amazon EC2 instances using both the Go programming language and Terraform. The purpose of this repository is to demonstrate two different approaches to creating, terminating, and waiting for the instances to run on AWS.

main.go
The main.go file is a Go program that interacts with the AWS SDK for Go to perform the following tasks:
- Create an Amazon EC2 instance
- Terminate the created instance
- Wait until the instance is in a running state
- To run the main.go file, you'll need the Go programming language installed on your system. You can follow the official Go installation guide to get started.
Terraform
Inside the ec2 directory there are three directories that contain three separate Terraform configuration files for performing the same tasks as the main.go file:
- create/main.tf: Creates an Amazon EC2 instance
- terminate/main.tf: Terminates the specified instance
- wait/main.tf: Waits until the specified instance is in a running state
To use these Terraform files, you'll need to have Terraform installed on your system. You can follow the official Terraform installation guide to get started.
Usage
Go
To execute the main.go file, navigate to the root directory of this repository and run the following command:
go run main.go
Terraform
To apply the Terraform configuration files, follow these steps:
Navigate to one of the directories in which the configuration file is present.
-
Initialize the Terraform working directory:
terraform init -
Apply the configuration files:
terraform apply -
To destroy the created resources when you are done, run:
terraform destroy
