Implement simple security in HCL codes.

To implement Terraform resource security (tf.sec) using Terraform, you will need to follow these steps:

Install and configure Terraform on your local machine.
Create a Terraform configuration file for your security features. This will include specifying the AWS provider, providing your access credentials, and creating resources like “aws_security_group” and “aws_iam_role” to configure security.
Configure security settings such as firewall rules, access policies, and more.
Run the “terraform init” command to initialize the Terraform working directory.
Run the “terraform apply” command to apply the security settings.
Here’s a basic example of what your Terraform configuration file might look like:

provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}

resource "aws_security_group" "example" {
name = "example"
description = "Example security group"

ingress {
from_port = 22
to_port = 22
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
}
}

resource "aws_iam_role" "example" {
name = "example"

assume_role_policy = <<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}
EOF
}
