Open Next Terraform Examples

This repo contains example Terraform/ Terragrunt configurations to deploy a single and multi-zone website to AWS using Open Next.

This utilises the following module to deploy the Next.js website to AWS

Github Repo

Terraform Registry

See the module documentation for more information on the limitations, inputs, outputs, etc.

Building the examples

To be able to deploy the examples, you will need to install the dependencies and build the websites using open-next.

NOTE: You will need node 18 or above installed to build the applications

For the multi-zone website please run the following commands

cd multi-zone/docs
yarn install
yarn build:open-next
...
cd ../home
yarn install
yarn build:open-next

For the single-zone website please run the following commands

cd single-zone
yarn install
yarn build:open-next

Deploying the examples

NOTE: Deploying an example could cause you to start incurring charges on you AWS account

To deploy the examples to AWS, you will need the following

• An AWS Account
• Terragrunt v0.45.14 or above
• Terraform v1.4.0 or above

To configure the AWS providers see the provider documentation.

You will need to configure the AWS providers 4 times, this is due to some orgs using different account or roles for IAM, DNS, etc. The server function is a seperate provider to allow you backend resources to be deployed to a region i.e. eu-west-1 and deploy the server function to another region i.e. us-east-1 for lambda@edge.

An example setup can be seen below

provider "aws" {
  
}

provider "aws" {
  alias = "server_function"
}

provider "aws" {
  alias = "iam"
}

provider "aws" {
  alias = "dns"
}

provider "aws" {
  alias  = "global"
  region = "us-east-1"
}

Once the artifacts have been built they can be deployed using Terraform & Terragrunt. First, you need to download the providers and module, you can do this by running the following command:

terragrunt init

To see what changes will be made, you can run the following command:

terragrunt plan

To deploy the website, you can run the following command:

terragrunt apply

When you see the following

Do you want to perform these actions?
  Terraform will perform the actions described above.
  Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

  Enter a value:

type yes and hit the return/ enter key.

Destroying the example

Once you are finished with the resources you can remove all the provisioned resources by running the following command:

terragrunt destroy

When you see the following

Do you really want to destroy all resources?
  Terraform will destroy all your managed infrastructure, as shown above.
  There is no undo. Only 'yes' will be accepted to confirm.

  Enter a value:

type yes and hit the return/ enter key.

Then all the resources (which Terraform has state information for) should be removed.
