Project Overview
This project demonstrates my ability to automate cloud infrastructure deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. I built a complete automated deployment pipeline that can provision resources across multiple cloud providers including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure.
Technologies Used
- Terraform: Primary IaC tool for resource provisioning
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Primary cloud provider
- Microsoft Azure: Secondary cloud provider for multi-cloud setup
- GitHub Actions: CI/CD pipeline automation
- Docker: Containerization for applications
Architecture & Implementation
The infrastructure automation project includes several key components:
1. Multi-Cloud Resource Provisioning
Created Terraform modules that can deploy identical infrastructure across both Oracle Cloud and Azure, including:
- Virtual networks and subnets
- Compute instances with auto-scaling
- Load balancers and security groups
- Storage buckets and databases
2. Terraform Configuration Example
# main.tf
provider "oci" {
tenancy_ocid = var.tenancy_ocid
user_ocid = var.user_ocid
}
resource "oci_core_instance" "web_server" {
compartment_id = var.compartment_ocid
shape = "VM.Standard.E3.Flex"
display_name = "web-server-${random_string.suffix.result}"
}
3. Automated CI/CD Pipeline
Implemented a complete CI/CD pipeline that:
- Validates Terraform syntax and runs security scans
- Plans infrastructure changes and requires approval
- Applies changes automatically after approval
- Monitors deployment health and rolls back if needed
Key Achievements
- Eliminated manual configuration errors through automation
- Implemented proper state management and remote backends
- Created reusable modules for future projects
- Established proper security practices with secrets management
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Managing state files across multiple environments
Solution: Implemented remote state storage with proper locking mechanisms
Challenge: Securing sensitive variables and credentials
Solution: Used cloud-native secret management services and environment-specific variable files
Future Improvements
- Add monitoring and alerting with Prometheus/Grafana and or Splunk SIEM
- Implement disaster recovery automation
- Expand to include AWS for true multi-cloud deployment
- Add cost optimization automation
- Integrate Aikido Security to monitor IaC misconfigurations(Project update coming soon!)
