ELB with stickiness Example

The example launches a web server, installs nginx, creates an ELB for instance. It also creates security groups for the ELB and EC2 instance.

To run, configure your AWS provider as described in https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/index.html

This example assumes you have created a Key Pair. Visit https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#KeyPairs:sort=keyName to create a key if you do not have one.

Run this example using:

terraform apply -var 'key_name=YOUR_KEY_NAME'

Alternatively to using -var with each command, the terraform.template.tfvars file can be copied to terraform.tfvars and updated.

Wait a couple of minutes for the EC2 userdata to install nginx, and then type the ELB DNS Name from outputs in your browser and see the nginx welcome page.
