CI/CD for AWS infrastructure using Terraform

This template gives you a continuous integration (CI) pipeline for building, changing, and destroying AWS infrastructure using Terraform.

At a glance:

• For Terraform
• Uses Docker with a Terraform image
• Uses the AWS Assume Role plugin to access AWS credentials

How it works

This template:

1. Validates the Terraform configuration in a Docker image.
2. Assumes an AWS role using the AWS Assume Role with Web Identity plugin.
3. Initializes Terraform and plans changes, outputting a plan file, which is available as an artifact.
4. Blocks for input before conditionally applying the proposed Terraform plan.

The pipeline runs all steps in a Docker container with the HashiCorp Terraform image, passing through all the necessary AWS environment variables.

Next steps

After you select Use template, you’ll:

1. Connect the Git repository with your Terraform configuration.
2. Replace the placeholder AWS role ARN in the pipeline definition.
3. Configure the compute—run locally, on-premises, or in the cloud.
4. Run the pipeline.

You can then play around with the pipeline settings. For example, run the pipeline locally while you iterate on the definition or set a schedule to trigger a nightly build.
