[@soumyadipchatterjee2267]

Mind-blowing & Hat's off to you to showcase this project step by step especially how Gitlab & Terraform hand to hand works in Production 😀❤. I have successfully created the same .

Hi Cloudchamp i am following you and love your videos , would be very helpful if you could just tell the extensions u use as i am facing docker failed to connect issue in vs code . And where can i get the solutions of these issues.

This tutorial offers an in-depth look at automating Terraform deployments using CI/CD pipelines. As a DevOps engineer, I appreciate the clear explanations and practical examples that make it easy to integrate Terraform with GitLab. The tutorial covers everything from initial setup to best practices for managing infrastructure as code, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to streamline their cloud deployments. Highly recommended for those aiming to enhance their DevOps workflows!"

Crisp & Clear. Thanks mate. And please dont take me wrong your talking speed has really reduced to good level compared to initial videos and this helps learners like us to understand thoroughly.

[@msr_atpeace]

Loved it , Can you make some changes ,to make it more comprehensive project. 1. Deploying emr cluster and kubernetes cluster and some ec2 instances. 2. how pipeline will look like when k8s have some service running. 3. instead of using gitlab can you use jenkins. 4. how to handle scenarios of blue/green deployment from terraform.

[@kykel4948]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! This really helped. Yours was the most comprehensive explanation I've seen so far and just you breaking down the code of the gitlab-ci file line by line in your review was incredibly helpful. So many tutorials I've watched skim over the important details and skip steps or just fail to elaborate on what their code is doing, which contributes to the confusion. My only confusion and question is about your destroy job. How did your destroy job run without a state declared? When I tried to run mine, it would "succeed" but only as a false positive. The destroy job wasn't finding the terraform state from the previous jobs and thinking there were 0 things to destroy. I had to troubleshoot and eventually added the state as an artifact in the apply job which resolved my issues. Liked, Subscribed and even bookmarked this particular tutorial!

[@karthickmuthiah7241]

Hi, can you please share the steps of how you added the state as an artifact in yaml file

[@kykel4948]

@@karthickmuthiah7241 When you write your stages out you need to simply add an artifact path. Each stage of your CI/CD pipeline is going to stand up a new runner container so the runner in your apply stage and destroy stage won't have the terraform state file from the plan stage unless you declare it as an artifact to pass to the next stage. Like this: stages: - validate #simply validate that terraform is available - plan #create your plan file and state - apply #run your terraform apply - destroy #tear down your state build Example code: plan: stage: plan script: - terraform plan -state=$STATE -out="planfile" artifacts: paths: - planfile - state # This artifacts path variable will pass $STATE created in the script command to the next (apply) stage. Each stage will need to continue to pass the artifact. So, if you create a state in the plan stage you'll need to declare it as an artifact for apply to have access to it. If you have additional stages (such as destroy used here) then you would also have to declare it as an artifact in your apply stage to ensure that it continues to pass on into your destroy stage. Otherwise, your destroy won't be able to tear down the build from the apply stage as it no longer has that state file. Hope this helps.

[@sarthakmamgain5745]

on point as always, short and crisp and helpful, one question @cloudchamp, which CI/CD tool is mostly used in organization i have created similar projects using jenkins, github actions and gitlab, which CI/CD tool would you suggest to work on?

[@-34A]

Hey Man, thanks for the Video! Could you do one for this Setup Terraform/Gitlab but with Azure? Im currently trying to set this up but i cant get it to work. As far as i know you need to have a gitlab Runner to execute the terraform jobs, but in gitlab it says i dont have an online runner even though i installed one and its also listed online under the runners tab. Do i need Docker on the runner machine?

Hi Nasi, i am almost there. But getting state lock error in the destroy stage. Not very sure how i can pass -lock=false for this stage manually. This work fine manually i can run this. Now im running the full pipeline and it started failing in the plan job itself saying state lock. Any leads please?

[@cloudchamp]

You can manually release the lock using terraform force-unlock command with the lock Id. -lock=false is not recommended in production environments where you have multiple people working together Let me know if still facing issue.

[@yogendrahj9365]

@@cloudchamp yes force-unlock is my first choice but silly thing is i am unable to find the lockid either in the error or state file. Below is the error i get if i run plan and cant see lock id. "Error: Error acquiring the state lock │ │ Error message: 2 errors occurred: │ * ResourceNotFoundException: Requested resource not found │ * ResourceNotFoundException: Requested resource not found │ │ │ │ Terraform acquires a state lock to protect the state from being written │ by multiple users at the same time.

For anyone else who had terraform validate throw up an error, in web/main.tf: Change "security_groups = var.sg" to "security_groups = [var.sg]" Because security_groups is expecting a list of inputs to create the security group instead of a string.

I have just read the pre-requisites. My question is that I don't know about GitLab because I haven't used it. So can this project be done with Jenkins also or GitLab is mandatory?

[@cloudchamp]

Gitlab is mandatory as it is in this video but you can do it on Jenkins too

[@zikou6405]

apply: stage: apply script: - terraform apply -input=false "planfile" dependencies: - plan the dependencies is not needed since apply and plan are in different stage so if plan stage failed the following stages will fail too if we put the plan and apply in the same stage then we need to add the dependecies line
