Terraform Route Table Backup

This project uses Terraform to create a backup of an existing route table in AWS. The existing route table is replicated in a new route table and associated with a specific subnet. This project allows users to have a backup of their route tables in AWS and facilitates recovery in case of a failure or data loss.

Prerequisites

• AWS account
• Terraform installed on your machine

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/SynergygraphicIB/-Terraform-Route-Table-Backup.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd terraform-route-table-backup
   

3. Set the values of the variables in the terraform.tfvars file or provide values for the variables when running the terraform apply command.
4. Run the following commands to initialize Terraform, create a plan, and apply the changes in AWS:

   terraform init
   terraform plan
   terraform apply
   

5. Verify that the backup of the existing route table has been created in AWS.

Files and Directories

• main.tf: Contains the Terraform code for creating the backup of the existing route table.
• provider.tf: Contains the Terraform code for configuring the AWS provider.
• variables.tf: Contains the Terraform code for defining the variables used in the project.
• terraform.tfvars: Contains the values of the variables used in the project.
• .gitignore: Contains a list of files and directories that should not be tracked by Git.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates how to use Terraform to create a backup of an existing route table in AWS. By having a backup of your route tables, you can ensure that your network infrastructure is protected and can be quickly recovered in case of a failure or data loss.
