I have been playing around with Terraform for the last two months or so, and I really enjoy working with it. The entire approach to infrastructure as code, especially the modular parts, are not only powerful but extremely intuitive and easy-to-use — once you get used to the HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language).

Today, I’d like to provide a detailed, simple use-case where Terraform is used as a way to provision and configure an Amazon EC2 Server (I’ll be using Ubuntu in this example) and configure Amazon Inspector to scan said server for security vulnerabilities, once provisioned.
