# Configuring AWS Using Terraform

## Prerequisites

The IAM user or role that runs Terraform must have the appropriate permissions.
The `iam-policy.json` file defines a policy that will allow the Terraform to
manage all of the necessary resources.  Before running Terraform, create an IAM
policy and assign it to a user, group, or role.  Be sure to replace the AWS
account ID in the various target resource names.

To use an IAM role, set the `iam_role` Terraform variable when executing
`terraform plan`/`terraform apply`.

## Create Resources

Terraform will create all resources automatically:

```sh
terraform apply
```
