README.md
This directory contains Terraform configurations for the core infrastructure components of our project. These are foundational elements that other parts of our infrastructure rely upon.
The core directory manages the following resources:
- AWS S3 Bucket for Terraform state storage: Ensures that our Terraform state is stored securely and is accessible across our team for state management.
- DynamoDB Table for Terraform state locking: Prevents concurrent operations from corrupting the state.
s3.tf: Contains the configuration for the S3 bucket used for state storage.dynamodb.tf: Defines the DynamoDB table used for locking the Terraform state during modifications.providers.tf: Sets up provider configurations and specifies the required versions.variables.tf: Declares variables used across multiple configurations within the core infrastructure.
To deploy or modify the core infrastructure, follow these steps:
- Initialization:
Navigate to the
coredirectory and run:
terraform init
This will prepare your directory for Terraform operations, setting up the backend and initializing provider plugins.
- Planning: To see what changes Terraform plans to make to your infrastructure based on the current configurations, run:
terraform plan
- Applying Changes: To apply the changes proposed in the plan, run:
terraform apply
Always review the plan before applying it to prevent unintended changes.
- Review changes: Always review the output of
terraform planbefore applying changes. - Keep secrets secure: Never hard-code sensitive information. Use environment variables and secrets management practices.
- Version control: Keep all changes in version control and review changes through pull requests.
Contributions to the core infrastructure should follow the company's guidelines on infrastructure changes, including approval and review processes.
For more detailed information on each resource, refer to the individual .tf files within this
directory.
