Getting Started

1. Clone the project

   git clone https://github.com/yahel2410/opsschool-logging
   cd opsschool-logging

2. Create a file called terraform.tfvars with the required variables (replace <> with your values):

   aws_account_id = "<>"
   aws_region     = "<>"
   ssh_key_name   = "<>"        # ec2 key-pair name
   prefix_name    = "<>"        # your name
   aws_profile    = "<>"        # optional
   

3. Run

   terraform apply

4. If everything went well, terraform will output the public ip of the instance and the Kibana url.
