# Deploy RELIANOID Load Balancer Enterprise Edition v8 with Terraform on AWS

This guide explains how to deploy the **RELIANOID Enterprise Edition** virtual machine on AWS using the official Terraform module from the **Terraform Registry**.

The module provisions automatically:

- VPC with Internet Gateway
- Public Subnet
- Security Group (allowing SSH 22, Web GUI 444)
- EC2 Instance using the RELIANOID Enterprise Edition AMI
- Key Pair for SSH access

## Prerequisites

### Install Terraform

Download Terraform and install it for your OS.

`terraform -version`

### Install AWS CLI

Download AWS CLI and configure it with your credentials.

`aws configure`

### SSH Key Pair

You’ll need an SSH key to access the VM. If you don’t already have one:

**Note:** Users must generate an SSH key pair in the current folder before running Terraform:

`ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa`

This creates `id_rsa` (private key) and `id_rsa.pub` (public key). Keep the keys in the same directory where Terraform files are stored.

## Step 1: Find the Terraform Module

1. Go to **Terraform Registry**.
2. Search for `relianoid-enterprise`.
3. Select the official module `relianoid/relianoid-enterprise`.

## Step 2: Create a Project Folder

```
mkdir relianoid-aws
cd relianoid-aws
```

## Step 3: Create `main.tf`

```
module "relianoid-enterprise" {
  source  = "relianoid/relianoid-enterprise/aws"
  version = "1.0.2"

  ami_id               = "ami-0169776ce0edf5fc5"  # default US East Marketplace AMI
  public_ssh_key_path  = "${path.module}/id_rsa.pub"
}
```

### `outputs.tf`

```
output "instance_id" {
  description = "The ID of the EC2 instance"
  value       = module.relianoid-enterprise.instance_id
}

output "instance_public_ip" {
  description = "The public IP of the EC2 instance"
  value       = module.relianoid-enterprise.instance_public_ip
}

output "instance_private_ip" {
  description = "The private IP of the EC2 instance"
  value       = module.relianoid-enterprise.instance_private_ip
}
```

### Notes:

- Users must generate an SSH key pair in the current folder before running Terraform:
   `ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ./id_rsa -N ""`
- The module internally provisions all required AWS resources, including VPC, Subnet, Security Group, EC2 instance, and key pair.
- Users can override `ami_id` if they wish to use a different AMI.

## Step 4: Initialize & Deploy

Run the following:

```
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
```

Confirm with `yes` when prompted.

## Step 5: Access the RELIANOID VM

After deployment, Terraform outputs the public IP address. Connect using SSH:

`ssh -i id_rsa admin@<instance_public_ip>`

Then open the Web GUI in your browser:

`https://<instance_public_ip>:444`

## Outputs

Terraform provides:

| Output Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `instance_id` | ID of the EC2 instance |
| `instance_public_ip` | Public IP of the VM |
| `instance_private_ip` | Private IP of the VM in the VPC |

## Destroy Resources

To delete everything created:

`terraform destroy`

## ⚠️ Important Notes:

- The AMI ID used is for `us-east-1`. If you deploy in another region, replace it with the correct Marketplace AMI.
- Always secure your private key (`id_rsa`).
