3. Rename the `terraform.tfvars.example` file to `terraform.tfvars`. 1. Rename the `terraform.tfvars.example` file to `terraform.tfvars`.
4. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables at minimum. To change node counts and sizes, see `node sizes`. 1. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables:
- `aws_access_key` - Amazon AWS Access Key
- `aws_secret_key` - Amazon AWS Secret Key
- `rancher_server_admin_password` - Admin password for created Rancher server
- `aws_access_key` - Amazon AWS Access Key 1. **Optional:** Modify optional variables within `terraform.tfvars`.
- `aws_secret_key` - Amazon AWS Secret Key See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) and the [AWS Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/tree/master/aws) for more information.
- `ssh_key_name` - Amazon AWS Key Pair Name Suggestions include:
- `prefix` - Resource Prefix - `aws_region` - Amazon AWS region, choose the closest instead of the default
- `prefix` - Prefix for all created resources
- `instance_type` - EC2 instance size used, minimum is `t3a.medium` but `t3a.large` or `t3a.xlarge` could be used if within budget
- `ssh_key_file_name` - Use a specific SSH key instead of `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (public key is assumed to be `${ssh_key_file_name}.pub`)
5. **Optional:** Modify the count of the various node types within `terraform.tfvars`. See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) for more information on the variables. 1. Run `terraform init`.
6. Run `terraform init`. 1. Install the [RKE terraform provider](https://github.com/rancher/terraform-provider-rke), see [installation instructions](https://github.com/rancher/terraform-provider-rke#using-the-provider).
7. To initiate the creation of the environment, run `terraform apply`. Then wait for the following output: 1. To initiate the creation of the environment, run `terraform apply --auto-approve`. Then wait for output similar to the following:
``` ```
Apply complete! Resources: 3 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed. Apply complete! Resources: 16 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
Outputs:
rancher-url = [
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
]
```
8. Paste the `rancher-url` from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default username is `admin`, and default password is `admin`). Outputs:
**Result:** Rancher Server and your Kubernetes cluster is installed in Amazon AWS. rancher_node_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx
rancher_server_url = https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
workload_node_ip = yy.yy.yy.yy
```
1. Paste the `rancher_server_url` from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default username is `admin`, use the password set in `rancher_server_admin_password`).
#### Result
Two Kubernetes clusters are deployed into your AWS account, one running Rancher Server and the other ready for experimentation deployments.
