Infrastructure As Code + Pipeline: Deployment of Network Resources and Compute in the OCI in a 100% automated way using GitHub, Terraform Cloud and Terraform IaC

A company specializing in luxury furniture sales, needed to provision an infrastructure (Networking + Compute) in the OCI, to host its website called Niture. As a prerequisite for this project, I had to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The main IaC tools I used for this project were GitHub, Terraform Cloud and Terraform IaC. The main steps are: <ol> <li>Create a new IAM administrator user for Terraform.</li> <li>Create a new repository in GitHub.</li> <li>Create terraform main.tf file to create the different resources needed for this project.</li> <li>Commit the terraform changes into GitHub.</li> <li>Create a new organization and workspace in Terraform Cloud</li> <li>Configure the terraform variables and plan and validate a run.</li> <li>Once all resources were created, test the application.</li> <li>Update the main.tf file — add a second webserver, commit the changes and validate that the new server was created.</li> <li>Update again the main.tf file — remove the second server and validate that it was deleted.</li> <li>Remove all the resources from the main.tf file and validate that all the resources were deleted.</li> </ol> <a href="https://medium.com/@ramahammer/infrastructure-as-code-pipeline-deployment-of-network-resources-and-compute-in-the-oci-in-a-100-fd9ad21cd936">Read More</a>
