The Project

CI/CD GitHub Actions and Terraform Infrastructure as Code for AWS Cloud

The Challenge

A development team is building a web application that needs to be deployed on AWS. The infrastructure includes:

  • An Amazon S3 bucket for static file hosting.
  • An Amazon RDS instance for the database.
  • An Amazon ECS cluster for containerized application deployment.
  • An Amazon CloudFront distribution for content delivery.

The team wants to automate the deployment process to ensure consistency, reliability, and efficiency. They decide to use Terraform for infrastructure as code (IaC) and GitHub Actions for the CI/CD pipeline.

The Solution

Steps to Implement

1. Set Up Terraform for AWS Infrastructure

  • Define Infrastructure: Create Terraform configuration files to define the required AWS resources.

2. Create GitHub Actions Workflow

  • Define CI/CD Workflow: Create a GitHub Actions workflow file to automate the build, test, and deployment processes.

Explanation

Terraform Configuration

  • Defines the AWS resources needed for the web application.
  • Manages the lifecycle of these resources (creation, update, and deletion).
