Alibaba Cloud Infrastructure as Code Quickstart

• Official Repository: aliyun/aliyun-cli
• Docker Hub Repository: ellerbrock/alpine-aliyuncli
• Docker Build Repository: ellerbrock/docker-collection

What you need

• Github Account
• Travis Account for Continuous Integration and Delivery

Configuration

1.) Activate Travis for the Repository

2.) Go to Travis Repository Settings

Under General i have my Settings that:

• ON: Building only if .travis.yml is present
• ON: Build branch updates
• ON: Limit concurrent jobs? 1
• OFF: Build pull request updates

3.) Add your Credentials to Environment Variables

The Terraform Alicloud Provider Plugin expect the Environment Variables named like these:

• ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY="your-key-here"
• ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-here"
• ALICLOUD_REGION="your-region"

Ensure to disable the Display value in build log

You can read in more detail about this here.

4.) Add .travis.yml to your Repo

For a clean and isolated work i choose the Docker service for Travis CI.

Ensure to have all your commands which needs access to the encrypted environment variables from travis in the before_script, for whatever weird reason after you can't access them anymore e.g. via script. I hope this get's updated in the future.
