Why Choose This Project

Manual infrastructure management is time-consuming and error-prone. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solves this by automating cloud resource provisioning, configuration, and scaling. With Terraform, teams can define infrastructure in reusable, version-controlled scripts, ensuring consistency across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

This project is ideal for DevOps enthusiasts and cloud engineers aiming to streamline deployments and enforce cloud best practices.

What You Get

• Hands-on project implementing Terraform for IaC.

• Multi-cloud infrastructure setup (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Automation for VM, networking, and storage provisioning.

• Git-based CI/CD pipeline for continuous delivery of infrastructure.

• A reproducible and scalable cloud environment.

Key Features

Technology Stack

1. Infrastructure Layer

• AWS EC2, S3, VPC

• Azure VMs, Blob Storage, Virtual Network

• GCP Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC

2. IaC & Automation Layer

• Terraform (HCL scripting)

• Terraform Modules for reusable components

3. CI/CD Layer

• Jenkins / GitHub Actions for automation

• Dockerized pipelines

4. Security & State Management

• Terraform Remote State (S3 + DynamoDB, Azure Blob, or GCS)

• HashiCorp Vault for secrets

Working Flow

1. Write Terraform Code

   • Define infrastructure in .tf files (e.g., VMs, storage, networking).

2. Initialize & Plan

   • Run terraform init → downloads providers.

   • Run terraform plan → previews changes.

3. Apply Infrastructure

   • terraform apply → provisions resources on AWS/Azure/GCP.

4. CI/CD Integration

   • Code pushed to GitHub triggers Jenkins/GitHub Actions.

   • Terraform executes automatically with approval workflows.

5. Monitor & Manage

   • Resources are tracked in Terraform state.

   • Changes applied incrementally (terraform apply).

6. Destroy if Needed

   • terraform destroy → tears down resources safely.

Security Features

• IAM Role Management for cloud access control.

• State file encryption in S3/Blob/GCS.

• Secrets storage with HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.

• RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for team collaboration.

Visualization Options

• Terraform Graph (terraform graph) → visualize dependencies.

• Cloud provider dashboards (AWS Console, Azure Portal, GCP Console).

• Grafana + Prometheus → monitor provisioned infrastructure.
