Create Outstanding AWS Infrastructure with Terraform and Qovery
Terraform combined with Qovery is like giving superpower to DevOps and developers. I am super excited to launch a brand new GitHub repository with "ready-to-use" examples to deploy crazy AWS cloud architecture with Terraform and Qovery. Feel free to use them, modify them and share them with us and our community.
It's an excellent way to familiarize yourself with Terraform, AWS, and how to use Qovery. Thousands of developers and DevOps build outstanding infrastructure on top of AWS. We are eager to share the best practices and ready-to-use architecture for your personal and professional projects.
resource "qovery_database" "production_psql_database" { environment_id = qovery_environment.production.id name = "strapi db" type = "POSTGRESQL" version = "13" mode = "MANAGED" # Use AWS RDS for PostgreSQL (backup and PITR automatically configured by Qovery) storage = 10 # 10GB of storage accessibility = "PRIVATE" # do not make it publicly accessible state = "RUNNING"
Check out the complete Terraform manifest file here.
Behind the scene, Qovery:
Creates 3 Kubernetes clusters (`Production`, `Staging`, `Dev`) on your AWS account (VPC, Security Groups, Subnet, EKS/Kubernetes...)
Creates Qovery Organization `Terraform Demo`
Creates Qovery Project `Strapi V4`
Creates Qovery Environment `production`
Creates Qovery Database `strapi db` (RDS) for `Production`
Application `strapi app` for `Production`
Creates Qovery Environment `staging`
Database `strapi db` (RDS) for `Staging`
Application `strapi app` for `Staging`
Environment `dev`
Database `strapi db` (Container with EBS) for `Dev`
Application `strapi app` for `Dev`
Inject all the Secrets and Environment Variables used by the app for every environment
Builds `strapi app` application for `Production`, `Staging` and `Dev` environments in parallel
Pushes `strapi app` container image in your ECR registry for `Production`, `Staging` and `Dev` environments in parallel
Deploys your PostgreSQL database for `Production` (AWS RDS), `Staging` (AWS RDS) and `Dev` (Container) environments in parallel
Deploys `strapi app` on your `Production`, `Staging` and `Dev` EKS clusters
Creates an AWS Network Load Balancer for all your clusters and apps
Generates a TLS certificate for your app for all your apps
Exposes publicly via HTTPS your Strapi app from `Production`, `Staging` and `Dev` through different endpoints
Terraform takes takes approximately 30 minutes per environment👍 So technically speaking you can have a Production, Staging and Dev environment in less than 2 hours and by letting Terraform and Qovery doing the job for your on your AWS account 😎
What's next?
