Ansible playbook for AWS S3 bucket creation

Steps:

1. Create Ansible playbook for S3 bucket creation

(Sample playbook is available in my GitHub Repo, you can use that as a reference)

2. Create Jenkins Pipeline 

pipeline {

    agent any

    stages {

        

        stage ("checkout") {

            steps {

                        checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], extensions: [],                                                     userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'https://github.com/akannan1087/myAnsibleInfraRepo']]])         

            }

        }

        stage('execute') {

            steps {

                //to suppress warnings when you execute playbook    

                sh "pip install --upgrade requests==2.20.1"

                // execute ansible playbook

                ansiblePlaybook 'create-s3.yml'

            }

        }

    }

How to create S3 bucket in AWS using Terraform - Create S3 bucket in AWS using Terraform

Terraform is an infrastructure orchestration tool for creating web services in AWS automatically. You can use Terraform for provisioning S3 bucket in AWS.

sudo vi create_s3.tf

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "mybucket" {
  bucket = "my-tf-test-bucket"
  acl    = "public-read"
  website {
    index_document = "hello.html"
   routing_rules = <<EOF
[{
    "Condition": {
        "KeyPrefixEquals": "docs/"
    },
    "Redirect": {
        "ReplaceKeyPrefixWith": "documents/"
    }
}]
EOF
  }

  tags= {
    Name        = "My bucket"
    Environment = "Dev"
  }
}

Once you create the above file, execute terraform plan and then terraform apply to create S3 bucket in AWS.
