This creates a security group, launch configuration, auto scaling group and an ELB. The user data for launch configuration installs nginx and it listnes on port 80.

The example uses latest Ubuntu AMIs.

Make sure you change the list of availability zones that is applicable to your account and region.

To run, configure your AWS provider as described in https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/index.html

terraform plan -var 'key_name={your_key_name}}'

Once the stack is created, wait for few minsutes and test the stack by launching a browser with ELB url.
