Hi @piyush,i thing we should use release pipeline for this terraform activity, correct me if i am wrong

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Hello, In this project I have used Build and Release pipeline so that you can use the same artifacts to provision infra in multiple environments using the release pipeline.

[@saisivakiran8467]

Allow me to thank you for producing wonderful content. I have a question here, In azure devops pipeline how do we authenticate with azure cloud, as I see no env passed for authentication unlike we did in manual process with export commands, did we hardcoded terraform provider section with SP credentials in azure repo? As per my understanding, service connection serving the purpose of passing env variables to terraform provider section which will provision the infrastructure. Please help me to understand this. Obliged for your response in advance!

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Hello Sai, Thank you for the fantastic feedback❤️ To answer your question, we use service connection for the authorization. When we were using the tf commands manually, the user that we used to performed az login, had the permissions to list and deploy the resources to Azure. When we are doing it through Azure devops, we create a service connection that creates a service principal which has the permissions to deploy the resources. In a production env, Cloud engineering team is responsible for creating the service principals and assign it certain permissions as per the team and then share it with the respective team and then that team creates a service connection using that service principal. You can create a service principal from your Azure portal using the cli commands , assign it the contributor role, and then go to your org settings and then create a service connection using the service principal that you have created. Now you can use the service connection in your pipeline. I hope this answered your question but let me know if you have more questions on this.

[@saisivakiran8467]

@@TechTutorialswithPiyush thanks for responding. In the manual approach, apart from doing az login we also set env var using the export command(to run terraform commands) in azure devops this is similar to service connection which have the permission to list and deploy our resources in azure.

Hello Piyush, thank you for the great demo! I have a question regarding automating Azure resource deployments using Terraform and Azure DevOps without altering the Terraform code. I tried passing variables from the pipeline, but each time, the existing resources get destroyed due to inconsistencies with the tfstate. Do you have please any method or best practice to prevent this?

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

If you are passing the variable and it is making some changes to the existing code, it could destroy and recreate the resources. May be I am not getting your question, can you please elaborate

[@rehankittur5248]

Hello , Can you please explain again why the Archive file task was added in the CI pipeline

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Hello Rehan, I added that for a couple of reasons: - So that I can show both the CI and CD pipelines. - So that we create artifacts of any infra changes, we can use the same artifacts to provisioning multiple environments , keep a track of those changes and use that to create exactly same environments. I hope this answered your question.

[@solutionworld3178]

while creating the backend container manually we are creating the RG also, so while running the pipeline how it will create the RG again and it is giving error for that..in terraform apply

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

That is the separate rg which is not managed by Terraform. All the backend details will be configured as a prerequisite and outside terraform otherwise you will run into issues plus there are chances of accidental deletion of state file

[@solutionworld3178]

@@TechTutorialswithPiyush so, everytime needs to create 2 RG, one for backend and other one for all services, right?

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Correct. You can keep the 1st RG which contains backend so that you dont have to recreate it everytime, it will only have your tfstate file so it wont cost you anything for storage

[@movieswithbiblicalarchetypes]

Hi Piyush I have added a condition in azure-pipelines.yml such that master pipeline runs only in CTE & PROD environments. How can I make the azure-pipeline.yaml non-editable in feature branches so that no one can remove the conditions that I have added?

[@johngomes4934]

Great content Piyush. You could possibly just have the init, plan and apply in one build pipeline instead of creating an archive too and then create a release pipeline?

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Thank you for the feedback 🙂 Yes, we can do that in one build pipeline as well. The reason why we are doing it that way is so that we can have a separate release stage for each environment in case of multiple environments and we can use quality gates between the environments

[@ayushkamboj]

Can you please make a video with 3 different environments for dev,test,prod and how to pass parameters using variable group for all 3 environment in a single CI/CD pipeline for creating resources through terraform.

[@mukheshpericharla5529]

Hi Piyush, I tried the lab with a self-hosted agent, but I encountered an error in the last step(release - tf apply). I attempted several solutions to resolve it. In the future, could you please use self-hosted agents for your Azure DevOps labs? This would be helpful, as most customers in real-world environments utilize self-hosted agents. Thank you!

Hi Mukhesh, What issue did you encounter? Are you sure it is specific to self-hosted agent? Yes, I have used self hosted agent in a couple of videos. I will create more of those

[@dheeraj0076]

What about having multiple environments such as devtest, qa and prod. Do we have to have state file for each environment? How will it work for multiple environments?

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Yes, you have to create a separate statefile and tfvar file for each environment. You create a folder structure in git repo as well as storage account and store each file in its respective folder

Hi Piyush! This was a great video. I have heard that the tfplan output file can contain secrets. Is this something you should worry about and should that file be encrypted if it is being stored as an artifact?

Thank you! As per my knowledge, you can keep the secret as sensitive, store the tfstate in a remote backend typically a storage bucket/blob storage, restrict access to the bucket with bucket and user policies.

[@rahulkumarimadabattuni456]

Please be advised that you still need to work on other aspects of DevOps such as Monitoring, Alerting, Logging, GitOps, Git branching, Linux administration and so on. But this series covers most of the part and if you complete these projects, may be write some technical blogs and upload it on Github, you can definitely try for an Junior to mid level roles.

I would suggest joining our discord and sharing the error details along with your pipeline code to assist you further

Hi everyone, during the deployment, I faced this error in Terraform apply "2024-11-20T21:18:35.7597457Z ##[error]Error: The process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/terraform/1.9.8/x64/terraform' failed with exit code 1". I will be appreciative if anyone help me to fix it. Super thanks in advance.

Hello, This is not the actual error, this just shows that terraform process failed but why it was failed, you need to check the logs further, if it is not visible , you can set the variable system.debug=true to enable the debug logs

If anyone gets the error ##[error]Error: The process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/terraform/1.10.2/x64/terraform' failed with exit code 1 Make sure in your release pipeline steps that the the terraform init and terraform apply tasks have the same Configuration directory name as the Destination folder of the Extract files task. For me I had Destination folder of '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/' but my terraform configuration directory was '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)' (Notice there's no leading '/')

Error: There was an error when attempting to execute the process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/terraform/1.9.2/x64/terraform'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn /opt/hostedtoolcache/terraform/1.9.2/x64/terraform ENOENT. Getting this error in release pipeline can anyone help

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

This is not the actually error. It simply says that terraform command failed. If you are getting this error while the terraform apply stage, it could be due to the wrong directory. Make sure you are running the tf apply in the same directory where you have extracted the build. If you still face the issue, join our discord server and share the pipeline code and complete log in the #help-az-devops channel.

@@TechTutorialswithPiyush thanks for your reply, yes the tf init in release stage was getting initiated in an empty directory. so what I did was add the apply task stage in the yml code of build pipeline itself with the condition tf plan succeed. it did work and deployed the resources but I am not sure if it is the best practice

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

@@vatsalsingh1054 That is also okay but what you can do. When you extract the files in release pipeline, it creates another folder inside the extracted folder, so updated your release pipeline to add that build folder path in the tf apply state

[@TechTutorialswithPiyush]

Thank you for the feedback, looks like it's not able to find the files. can you ensure you are using the right directory path? also, can you share the error details along with the pipeline code , someone will help you
