Provision with Terraform

This page explains how to provision infrastructure using Terraform with FluentCI.

HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool that lets you provision and manage cloud infrastructure. Terraform provides plugins called providers that let you interact with cloud providers and other APIs.

Before you begin​

The instructions on this page assume that you are familiar with Terraform. In addition:

  • Have your Terraform project ready.
  • If you don't already have a project to provision with Terraform, you can create a default project by installing and initializing Terraform.
  • Make sure you have a main.tf file in your project root directory.

Using the Terraform Plugin​

You can use FluentCI to provision infrastructure using Terraform with the terraform plugin without installing Terraform CLI on your machine. FluentCI will handle everything for you.

The following commands can be used to provision infrastructure using Terraform:

fluentci run --wasm terraform init
fluentci run --wasm terraform plan
fluentci run --wasm terraform apply

CI/CD pipeline integrations​

The following examples show how to integrate FluentCI with popular CI providers to provision infrastructure using Terraform:

ci.yml
name: ci
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  tasks:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup Fluent CI
        uses: fluentci-io/setup-fluentci@v5
      - name: init
        run: fluentci run --wasm terraform init
        env:
          GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: ./service-account.json
      - name: validate
        run: fluentci run --wasm terraform validate
        env:
          GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: ./service-account.json
      - name: plan
        run: fluentci run --wasm terraform plan
        env:
          GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: ./service-account.json
      - name: apply
        run: fluentci run --wasm terraform apply
        env:
          GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: ./service-account.json
