AWS Costs Money
Prior to running Terraform, create necessary environment variables
export DATABASE_PASSWORD="harnessisbest"
export SECURITY_GROUP="sg-abc123"
export SUBNET_GROUP="default-vpc-abc123"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=""
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=""
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=""
Disclaimer: Everyone's environment is different, you may need to tweak the Terraform to comply with your governance and/or security rules.
terraform init
terraform apply -var "database_password=$DATABASE_PASSWORD" -var "security_group=$SECURITY_GROUP" -var "subnet_group=$SUBNET_GROUP"
Once your DB is created by Terraform you will receive the endpoint information.
Rename config.ini.sample to config.ini and modify the values for host, port, user, and password as appropriate for your environment.
Run the Python loader script in a docker container. This can be done locally, but that approach is not recommended.
docker run -it -v $(pwd)/config.ini:/config.ini -v $(pwd)/init_aws_db.py:/init_aws_db.py --rm python:3.8.2 pip3 install psycopg2-binary ; python3 init_aws_db.py
