Terraform seamlessly integrates with the CI/CD workflow, streamlining the process of building, testing, and deploying applications. It is a tool that can provision infrastructure on your machine or any cloud provider, thus ensuring similar infrastructure anywhere possible.
In this Cloud Lab, you will learn about Terraform, why to choose Terraform for CI/CD, and how to manage Terraform code. Then, you’ll create an S3 bucket and security group and configure an IAM role for an EC2 instance using Terraform. You’ll then set up a GitHub repository, create a CodeBuild project, a CodeDeploy application and deployment group, and configure an entire CodePipeline using Terraform.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll become well-versed in creating and launching CI/CD pipelines through Terraform on AWS, an essential skill for any cloud architect. Using Terraform, teams can ensure that the underlying infrastructure is automatically provisioned and configured in alignment with the code changes.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure that you’ll create in this Cloud Lab:
