### STEPS
Aim is to deploy Cisco Secure FTDv and FMCv instances on AWS through Terraform.
Navigate to the Cloud9 terminal and copy **instances.tf** file from the Resources folder to the Development folder.
```console
cp ./Resources/instances.tf ./Development/instances.tf
cd ./Development
```
>Note: We will deploy ```2``` FTDs and ```1``` FMC instances
And then run the following set of commands.
1. **terraform init**
```console
terraform init
```
This will download & install all the necessary modules.
2. **terraform validate**
```console
terraform validate
```
to check for any syntax error in the code.
3. **terraform plan**
To understand what the code will reflect and do on your AWS account run
```console
terraform plan --out awslab
```
The resources shown with the '+' symbol are set to be created. It will show the additional number of resources to be added by Terraform.
4. **terraform apply**
If you are satisfied with the plan of the configuration, run
```console
terraform apply awslab
```
Open your AWS Management Console to see if all the resources are correctly deployed.
