This project is a starter pack to quickly build and deploy cloud infrastructure to your personal AWS and (or) GCP environments via a CI/CD pipeline. To get started, please fork the repository.

The CI/CD process is managed via CircleCI pipelines.

• Sign up using your GitHub account
• Set the cloud-infra project and select 'Use Existing Config"

The state management and deployment of cloud resources is managed by Terraform and Terraform Cloud.

• Create a Terraform Cloud account
• Set up a workspace
• Update the Terraform configuration:
  • Go to terraform/main.tf
  • Replace the organisation and workspace name with your own settings -> terraform -> backend remote

• Create a user API token from Terraform Cloud
• Create a example_credentials.json file with the following structure

  {
    "credentials": {
      "app.terraform.io": {
        "token": "<TERRAFORM_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }

• Encode the credentials file to a string cat example_credentials.json | base64
• Store the encoded string as an environment variable on CircleCI with key: ENCODED_TF_CREDENTIALS

• Go to the AWS console and create an IAM admin user and save the access key id and secret access key generated
• Store the credentials as environment variables on Terraform Cloud with the keys AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

• Update the Terraform configuration:
  • Go to terraform/main.tf
  • Replace the project id -> provider google -> project id
• Go to the GCP console and create a service account credentials file for your project
• Generate a string from your credentials file tr -d '\n\ ' < service_credentials.json
• Store the string on Terraform Cloud with the key GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS
