🛠️ AWS and Chill

Welcome! This repository is a hands-on journal of my journey toward mastering data engineering on AWS. Here, I document real-world scripts, architectures, and projects built with AWS services — from ingestion to transformation, orchestration, and analytics — all geared toward becoming a specialist in AWS data solutions.

🐳 Docker Environment Setup

This project includes a Docker environment pre-configured with Terraform and AWS CLI to ensure consistent development across different systems.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system
• Git (to clone this repository)

Quick Start

1. Build the Docker image

   docker build -t terraform-awscli-dev:latest .

2. Run the container with volume mounting

   docker run -dit --name project-aws-and-chill -v $(pwd):/workspace terraform-awscli-dev:latest /bin/bash

   This command:

   • Creates a detached container named project-aws-and-chill
   • Mounts the entire repository directory to /workspace inside the container
   • Allows you to work with your local files from within the container

3. Access the container shell

   docker exec -it project-aws-and-chill bash

4. Verify installations

   terraform version
   aws --version

5. Configure AWS credentials

   aws configure

   Enter your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, region, and output format.

Working with Terraform

Once inside the container and in your project directory:

cd /workspace/(project-folder)

# Initialize Terraform
terraform init

# Review the execution plan
terraform plan

# Apply the infrastructure changes
terraform apply

Container Management

• Stop the container: docker stop project-aws-and-chill
• Start the container: docker start project-aws-and-chill
• Remove the container: docker rm project-aws-and-chill
• Rebuild image: docker build -t terraform-awscli-dev:latest . --no-cache

What's Included

The Docker environment provides:

• Ubuntu Latest: Clean, lightweight base system
• Terraform 1.6.4: Infrastructure as Code tool
• AWS CLI v2: Command-line interface for AWS services
• Essential utilities: wget, unzip, curl, openssh-client, ping

All your repository files are available at /workspace inside the container, allowing seamless development and testing.
