Create an infrastructure made of vSRX, vMX, Ubuntu, and many more using Terraform on AWS and other

This Terraform script ( or family of script ) of terraform script address the challenge of having to create and modify

because of the high cost of AWS ( and other in the future: Azure will be next ) we can't spin up all the instances but instead we have to fit the infrastructure as close of possible to the need.

1- single vSRX and two Ubuntu 2- two vSRX and two Ubuntu 3- two vSRX, single vMX and three Ubuntu 4- two vMX and two Ubuntu 5- single vSRX, single third party FW ( Fortinet, Palo Alto, ... ) and two Ubuntu 6- . . .

the script use one of the cheapest AWS region , but that can be changed

Getting Started

Phase 1- Create and AWS account ( to log into the AWS's GUI called "console" )
Phase 2- Create credential for the script to log into AWS
Phase 3- Create a key pair on the AWS GUI ( to log into the instance like: vSRX, vMX or Ubuntu )
Phase 4- Choose an Infrastructure and run the script ( on windows terraform.exe apply )
Phase 5-  --------- Need to reboot the vSRX and vMX on the AWS GUI ----------
Phase 6- log into the instance with the key-pair created on the AWS GUI ( called AWS console )

Prerequisites

1-Need terraform.exe downloaded on the windows ( or other ) laptop

Phase 1

1-
2-
3-

Phase 2

Create VPC-iGW-VGW + Subnet + Linux and vSRX Instance

0- AWS access and secret key to access AWS

1- create an VPC 1a- create an Internet Gateway 1b- create an Route in the RT ( for the management )

1c- Security Groups ( for Management, IPSec, ... )

create Subnets: 2a- create Private subnets ( to VM instances ): private1, private2, private3, . . . 2b- create Public IPSec subnet ( for Data IPSec Tunnel) 2c- create Public Mgmt subnet ( for vSRX Mgmt) 2d- associate Public subnet to Main routing table 2e- associate Mgmt subnet to Main routing table

3- Create an Key pair to access the VM <<<<<<<<<<<<< not use at this stage , but will be ( done on the AWS GUI )

4- create an Ubuntu instance 5- create an vSRX instance 6- create en vMX instance 7- add Network interface to the vSRX / vMX Instance

8- reboot the vSRX EC2 instance ( to load the new interfaces )

python script manual information:

on windows:

terraform.exe init ( the first time ) terraform.exe plan ( terraform.exe apply ( answer: "yes" ) and will create the Infrastructure

ssh

terraform.exe destroy ( answer: "yes" ) to remove the infrastructure
