CloudIaC-Kit Multi-Cloud IaC Starter Kit & CLI

A production-ready Infrastructure as Code (IaC) template supporting AWS, Azure, and GCP With CLI mode. This kit demonstrates architectural best practices, CI/CD integration, and pedagogical documentation in English and French.

⚡ Quickstart

Deploy the AWS Dev environment in 3 steps:

1. Configure Credentials:

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_key"
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret"

2. Initialize & Apply:

   cd terraform/environments/dev/aws
   terraform init && terraform apply -var="db_password=yoursecurepassword"

3. Configure Servers:

   cd ../../../../ansible
   ansible-playbook -i <instance_ip>, site.yml

🚀 Overview

This repository provides reusable Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks to deploy a standardized web architecture across multiple cloud providers. It is designed both as a production template and as a learning resource.

🎓 Educational Highlights

• Bilingual Documentation: Every file contains detailed comments in English and French explaining the why behind each resource.
• Architectural Patterns: Demonstrates VPC isolation, public/private subnet logic, and tiered security.
• Best Practices: Integrated linting, security scanning, and managed database patterns.

🛠 Features

• Multi-Cloud Support: Modular design for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Security First:
  • Integrated Checkov for security scanning.
  • TFLint for infrastructure linting.
  • Private subnets for databases.
• CI/CD Driven: GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing and deployment.
• Configuration Management: Ansible roles for Nginx setup and OS hardening.

📂 Structure

• terraform/modules/: Cloud-specific resource definitions.
• terraform/environments/: Environment-specific (Dev/Prod) orchestrations.
• ansible/: Configuration management playbooks.
• .github/workflows/: Automated CI/CD pipelines.

🏁 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Terraform >= 1.0
• Ansible >= 2.10
• Cloud credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY, etc.)

Deployment (AWS Dev)

1. Initialize Terraform:

   cd terraform/environments/dev/aws
   terraform init

2. Plan changes:

   terraform plan

3. Apply:

   terraform apply

🔐 Security Checks

Run linting and security scans locally:

# TFLint
tflint

# Checkov
checkov -d .
