The is a simple demo workflow to show how Infrastructure as Code and Continous Deployment (CD) can look like. This demo uses terraform to spin up the following architecture:

The following description assumes you have a working terraform installation in place. See here if you need to install terraform first. Once terraform is in place, you need to create a terraform.tfvars file within the projects terraform folder.

The project already contains a terraform.example file which you can use as a starting point. Just rename the file to terraform.tfvars and put in your credentials. Now you´re ready to start the infrastructure provisioning:

# Navigate to the projects terraform folder
cd <projectpath>/terraform
# Call terraform apply to create the infrastructure
terraform apply

The scripts output will look similar to this:

web-server-ip:
jenkins-ip: 

You can use the web-server-ip to connect to the Web server and the jenkins-ip to connect to the Jenkins Build server. The Jenkins credentials are: username: username password: bitnami
