Provisioning Infrastructure as Code via Gitlab and Terraform
Description
Our presentation will focus on how our team used Terraform, an Infrastructure as Code tool, and Gitlab to fully automate the provisioning and deployment of the Residency App, a serverless application that collects data from prospective college applicants and helps to determine their residency status.
Key points that we will cover:
- Terraform basics
- Bootstrapping a terraform provisioning plan
- Integrating Terraform with Gitlab CI/CD
- Handling multiple application environments, such as QA and Production
- Service account credential handling in Terraform and in the Cloud
We would like our audience to be able to get a basic sense of the work involved in provisioning and deploying a cloud-based application using an Infrastructure as Code strategy and the CI/CD tools available at UW.
