GitHub Actions with IaC

GitHub Actions and Terraform are powerful tools for automating tasks, creating efficient workflows, and managing infrastructure. When these two services are used together, DevOps Engineers (DoE) can make a workflow with a complex automation process that will make their work more organized and efficient.

GitHub Actions is an automation service that allows users to trigger an action based on an event in their repository. It can be used to run tests, deploy code, and automate many other processes. This makes it possible to have automated tests or deployments every time a change is made.

Terraform is a tool for managing infrastructure as code (IaC). It enables users to define resources in configuration files that can then be deployed across multiple cloud providers with just one command. This way, users can quickly provision resources—such as databases or compute instances—in various regions while keeping track of the changes made throughout the process.

Both GitHub Actions and Terraform allow DoE to set up their workflows quickly and efficiently. DoE can use GitHub Actions to automatically test any changes made in their repository before deploying them using Terraform. This will reduce errors caused by manual testing and help DoE focus on writing quality content for their workflows more quickly than if they did everything manually.

Further, using Terraform with GitHub Actions also helps ensure compliance with security policies and best practices since all necessary configurations can be managed from within the repository without manually applying them every time something needs updating or changing. When combined with services like AWS CloudFormation, Google Cloud, or Azure Resource Manager, Terraform makes it easier for DoE to keep control of cloud-based resources while still making changes quickly and with little user effort.

Ultimately, GitHub Actions and Terraform are great tools for creating highly organized and efficient workflows in terms of development time. By setting up automated tests and deployments with GitHub Actions and managing your infrastructure with Terraform, you can save time while still keeping control over your platform's configuration to keep it safe and up to industry standards.
