Infrastructure Architecture

---

Steps

• Create Golden Images(AMI) with Packer by Hashicorp
• Provision resources within a virtual network using Terraform (VPC, Security, Compute, ALB, Autoscaling, EFS, RDS)
  • Configure Terraform to use S3 or Terraform Cloud as backends
  • Create domain names and certificates for your two companies
  • Make sure you tag the resources properly
• Ansible for configuration management
• Update Terraform file with new AMI IDs
• Update ansible scripts with the following values from terraform outputs:
  • RDS enpoints for tooling and wordpress
  • Database name, password and username for tooling and wordpress
  • Access point ID for tooling and wordpress
  • Internal Load balancer DNS for nginx reverse-proxy

Problems to work on

• Hardcoding of values
• Inputting credentials directly into the script
