This article provides detailed steps and commands required  to get an EC2 instance provisioned, with the 'XFS' file system built automatically  with a successfully SAP HANA DB installation in AWS.

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Create a “main.tf” and init-script.sh with necessary attributes as mentioned in the part 1 of this blog (refer the links above), got to AWS-CLI with terraform configuration pointing to the selected region with your AWS access keys and initiate the terrfarom with the below command.

Command: terraform init

Step 2: We are validating the configuration for a final time for any errors before we can confirm the resource creation in the selected AWS regions.

Command: terraform validate & terraform apply

Step 3: The timestamp has been captured before confirming the resource creation and at the
AWS CLI typing “yes” @ localtime 02:06:36 pm aka(14:06:36)
