1. Developer
-
Role: The developer creates both the Terraform configuration files and
the application code, ensuring that infrastructure and application
requirements align seamlessly.
2. Source Control
-
Process: After writing the code, the developer commits changes to a
local Git repository. This is followed by pushing these commits to a
remote repository, allowing for collaborative development and version
control.
3. Static Code Analysis
-
Purpose: Before initiating the CI/CD pipeline, a static code analysis
tool, such as SonarQube, scans the code for potential security
vulnerabilities and assesses overall code quality. This step helps catch
issues early in the development process.
4. CI/CD Tool Trigger
-
Action: The push to the remote repository automatically triggers the
CI/CD pipeline configured in Jenkins, initiating the automated workflow.
5. CI/CD Tools
-
Options: Various CI/CD tools are available, including CircleCI, GitHub
Actions, and ArgoCD, providing flexibility based on project needs and
team preferences.
6. Terraform Initialization
-
Command: Jenkins executes the `terraform init` command to set up the
Terraform working directory. This step involves downloading the
necessary provider plugins to ensure proper configuration.
7. Infrastructure Planning
-
Execution: The `terraform plan` command is run by Jenkins, generating
an execution plan that outlines the actions Terraform will take to
achieve the desired state specified in the configuration files.
8. Infrastructure Application
-
Implementation: Jenkins then runs `terraform apply`, applying the
planned changes to the infrastructure. This step implements actual
modifications to the cloud resources as defined in the Terraform
configuration.
9. Infrastructure Deployment
-
Outcome: The infrastructure is deployed to the designated cloud
provider, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring that resources are
correctly provisioned.
10. Infrastructure Ready for Use
-
Result: The deployed resources, including virtual machines, networks,
and storage, are now provisioned and available for immediate use,
enabling further development and deployment of applications.
