# AWS Automation Suite - Production Ready Services

### **AWS Cloud Automation Deployment Guide**

1. **Select an AWS Service**.
    
    
    - In X-ops, navigate to **CloudOps → AWS Automation**.
    - Click on the desired service (e.g., Virtual Private Cloud, Elastic Compute Cloud, S3).
2. **Review Prerequisites**.
    
    
    - Check the **Overview** for service description.
    - Confirm **Terraform** (>=1.0) and **AWS Provider** versions.
    - Ensure your AWS IAM role permissions allow resource creation.
3. **Configure Inputs**.
    
    
    - Open the **Inputs** section.
    - Fill in required parameters (e.g., `vpc_cidr`, `availability_zones`).
    - Accept sensible defaults for optional settings or customize as needed.
4. **Copy and Customize Terraform**.
    
    
    - Scroll to **Usage** and click **Copy Code**.
    - Paste into `main.tf` and replace placeholders with your values.
    - Update network ranges, region, and tags.
5. **Initialize and Deploy**.
    
    
    - Run `terraform init` to set up providers.
    - Run `terraform fmt` and `terraform validate`.
    - Run `terraform plan` to preview changes.
    - Run `terraform apply` to create resources.
6. **Verify Outputs**.
    
    
    - Check the **Outputs** section for IDs, IPs, and endpoints.
    - Log in to the AWS Console to confirm resources exist.
    - Test connectivity and review security settings.

####  **Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)**
