Azure-Infrastructure-with-Terraform-and-CI-CD-pipeline-

📘 Project Overview

This project demonstrates how to build and manage Azure infrastructure using Terraform as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automate the deployment of a simple web application using a CI/CD pipeline. It showcases the integration of DevOps practices with cloud provisioning.

---

🎯 Objectives

• Provision Azure resources using Terraform.
• Deploy a sample web application on Azure.
• Automate deployment using CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps).
• Demonstrate infrastructure reproducibility and automation.

---

🛠 Tech Stack

• Terraform – Infrastructure provisioning
• Azure – Cloud platform
• GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps – CI/CD automation
• HTML/CSS/JS – Sample web application
• Git – Version control

---

🌟 Key Features

• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Automated deployment pipeline
• Scalable and reproducible infrastructure
• Version-controlled infrastructure and application code

---

✅ Prerequisites

• Azure subscription
• Terraform installed locally
• GitHub repository with CI/CD configuration
• Basic knowledge of Azure resources and Terraform

---

🚀 Implementation Steps

1️⃣ Terraform Setup

• Initialize Terraform project
• Define resources: Resource Group, App Service Plan, Web App
• Configure backend (optional) for state management
• Run terraform init, terraform plan, and terraform apply

2️⃣ Web Application Deployment

• Create a simple web app (nodejs)
• Package and push code to GitHub repository

3️⃣ CI/CD Pipeline Configuration

• Set up GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipeline
• Define workflow to:
  • Trigger on code push
  • Build and deploy web app to Azure Web App
• Use Azure credentials securely via secrets
