This is a terraform project to demonstrate how to use Amazon Athena to analyze HTTP logs.

It uses terraform to provision:

• A domain on Amazon Route53 DNS
• A new service on Fastly CDN, corresponding to the domain
• A new CNAME record for your domain which points to Fastly CDN
• An S3 static web hosting which serves a simple index.html file
• An S3 bucket for storing HTTP logs

The paired blog post shows you how to analyze the logs using Amazon Athena.

You will need a few things before you get started:

• terraform 1.7+
• An AWS account with access to:
  • IAM
  • Route 53
  • S3
• A registered domain you own
• A Fastly account and:
  • Your Fastly api key
  • Your Fastly customer id

There are 3 variables you will need to provide during execution:

• domain: The domain you want to use
• fastly_customer_id: Your Fastly customer Id
• fastly_api_key: Your Fastly API key

You can provide these variables using a .tfvars file or on the command line.

Then simply use the terraform plan/apply workflow.
