Part 1: Introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IAC) and Terraform
Welcome to a series on using terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IAC) with TeamCity and Octopus to create a CI/CD pipeline for deploying infrastructure into Azure. In this series, we will explore how to use terraform to manage infrastructure as code, TeamCity for continuous integration, and Octopus Deploy for continuous delivery to automate the deployment of resources in Azure . Whether you are new to infrastructure as code or an experienced practitioner, this series will guide you through the process of building a robust and automated deployment pipeline using these powerful tools. So, let's dive in and explore the world of IAC with terraform, TeamCity, and Octopus Deploy. In this first part, we will introduce you to the concept of IAC and Terraform. What is IAC? Infrastructure as code (IAC) is the practice of managing infrastructure in a declarative manner using code, rather than through manual configuration. This approach brings many benefits, including ...
