2. Install AWS CLI and add it to path

Setting up the credentials

1. Extract your AWS credentials:
   
   
   1. Select the Command line or programmatic access option

2. Generate a VMware Cloud token (with NSX Cloud admin & administrator rights)

1. Deploying an SDDC in VMWare Cloud on AWS

1. Create a file called phase1/terraform.tfvars, and insert the following:

aws_account_number        = "" # Your AWS billing account number
sddc_a_connected_vpc_cidr = "" # The CIDR of the AWS VPC that will be created
vmc_refresh_token         = "" # The VMC access token that you recently created (and gave NSX-T admin rights)
Org                       = "" # Your AWS organization name
sddc_a_name               = "" # The name of the SDDC that will get deployed
vmc_org_id                = "" # Your VMC organization ID
sddc_a_region             = "" # The AWS region in which the VPC will be created

2. Open a powershell console
3. Paste the AWS credentials you coppied
4. Navigate to the "phase1" directory
5. Execute terraform init
6. Execute terraform apply

2. Creating NSX-T rules

In the following phase, diverse NSX-T rules will be created

1. Create a file called phase2/terraform.tfvars, and insert the following:

workstation_public_ip = "" # Your workstation's public IP address (To provide access to vSphere)

2. Navigate to the "SDDC-Deployment/phase2" directory
3. Execute terraform init
4. Execute terraform apply

And that is it! Your SDDC in VMware Cloud on AWS got deployed!
