Deploy with Terraform¶

Terraform Overview

Use terraform to deploy to nearly any hosting environment
Terraform is open source https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform
For more information go to https://www.terraform.io/

Pass¶

Install and initialize pass.

pass makes managing these deployment parameters extremely easy
For instructions to install and initialize go to: https://www.passwordstore.org/
When you export your environment variables via export TF_VAR_variable_name, the variables get pulled in during terraform plan and terraform apply

Terraform for AWS¶

1. Once pass is installed and initialized do the following to store the environment variables in pass

pass insert access_key
pass insert secret_key
pass insert aws_key_name
pass insert docker_blazorboilerplate_image
pass insert docker_sqlserver_image
pass insert sa_password
pass insert cert_password
pass insert ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT
pass insert Serilog__MinimumLevel__Default

2. Set terraform deployment environment variables for use in terraform:

export TF_VAR_access_key=$(pass access_key)
export TF_VAR_secret_key=$(pass secret_key)
export TF_VAR_aws_key_name=$(pass aws_key_name)
export TF_VAR_docker_blazorboilerplate_image=$(pass docker_blazorboilerplate_image)
export TF_VAR_docker_sqlserver_image=$(pass docker_sqlserver_image)
export TF_VAR_sa_password=$(pass sa_password)
export TF_VAR_cert_password=$(pass cert_password)
export TF_VAR_ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=$(pass ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT)
export TF_VAR_Serilog__MinimumLevel__Default=$(pass Serilog__MinimumLevel__Default)

In Windows use setx instead. e.g.
setx TF_VAR_access_key=$(pass access_key)

3. Install Terraform at https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli?in=terraform/aws-get-started

- follow instructions on page

4. Deploy using Terraform

cd ./src/Utils/Terraform/AWS
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Terraform for Azure (Todo)¶

1. Once pass is installed and initialized do the following to store the environment variables in pass

todo:
pass insert param1
pass insert param2

2. Set terraform deployment environment variables for use in terraform:

todo:
export TF_VAR_param1=$(pass param1)
export TF_VAR_param2=$(pass param2)

In Windows use setx instead. e.g.
setx TF_VAR_param1=$(pass param1)

3. Install Terraform at https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli?in=terraform/azure-get-started

- follow instructions on page

4. Deploy using Terraform (Todo)

cd ./src/Utils/Terraform/Azure
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
