Getting Started

1. Clone the repository (if applicable):

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd terraform-aws-ec2

2. Initialize Terraform: Run the following command to initialize the Terraform configuration:

   terraform init

3. Configure Variables: Edit the variables.tf file to set your desired instance type and AMI ID, or provide them via command line or a .tfvars file.

4. Plan the Deployment: Generate an execution plan with:

   terraform plan

5. Apply the Configuration: To create the EC2 instance, run:

   terraform apply
