Drop them in the comments below! 👇 In this blog, I implemented a cloud-based Terraform workflow using HCP Terraform integrated with Github to provision an AWS S3 in a prodcution style setup. The deployment workflow follows this structure: Before starting, make sure you have: Create the following files: Your Terraform code is now version-controlled. Projects help logically group infrastructure. Now your repo is linked to HCP Terraform. Inside the Workspace -> varibales section: Add Environment Variables Add Terraform variables Example: Now go back to GitHub and make a small change (or re-push code). HCP Terraform will automatically: If successful, your S3 bucket will be created in AWS. AWS credentials were added as sensitive environment variables inside the HCP Terraform workspace. Re Github Repo: Github Repo Hashicorp: Hashicorp This project showcases how to provision AWS infrastructure using a cloud-native Terraform workflow powered by HCP Terraform and GitHub. By combining Infrastructure as Code with automated VCS-driven execution, the deployment process becomes: If you enjoyed this post or want to follow my #30DaysOfAWSTerraformChallenge journey, feel free to connect with me here: 💼 LinkedIn: Amit Kushwaha 🐙 GitHub: Amit Kushwaha 📝 Hashnode / Amit Kushwaha 🐦 Twitter/X: Amit Kushwaha Found this helpful?
