General info

This repository is on Terraform projects that I would like to practice and customize the solution to present the whole architecture pipeline clearly.

• Most of the work will involve around Terraform deployments where we have used AWS as a cloud provider.
• For more advanced topics, Terraform-Git Automation and Terraform Vault integration is also demostrated.
• In addition, if there is time we will implement Terraform with Git & Jenkins pipeline so that organizations where github workflows or bitbucket pipelines are not enabled, they can use Terraform with Jenkins

Quick Touchpoint on Terraform

In simple language (if you work in cloud infrastructure, you will get it !),

Terraform is an IaC tool to Build, Change, & Version Infrastructure efficiently. It comes in three formats: CLI (open source), Cloud, & Enterprise version. Please visit at Terraform Docs for more information. In addition, you can find my Terraform notes in this repo.
