Next steps

Jump into Week 4 of your TFCB Onboarding Journey and review your Use Cases.

Learn to provision infrastructure with HashiCorp Terraform

Network Applications with Terraform

Use Terraform to provision Kubernetes clusters in the Azure and AWS clouds, deploy Consul Helm charts enabling Consul federation, and deploy an example application on both clusters.

Learn how to run service discovery and a service mesh with Consul.

Operations Fundamentals

Use HashiCorp Terraform's Vault provider to codify Vault management to
increase repeatability while reducing human errors.

Learn about secrets management and data protection with HashiCorp Vault.

Auth Methods

This tutorial discusses the concepts necessary to help users
understand Vault's AppRole authentication pattern and how to use it to
securely introduce a Vault authentication token to a target server,
application, or container.

Manage Kubernetes with Terraform

Deploy a Consul-backed Vault cluster on Kubernetes, by linking Terraform Cloud workspaces with run triggers. Share Kubernetes cluster credentials between workspaces within an organization using data resources.

Network Automation with CTS

Automate updates to network infrastructure including dynamic load balancing and firewall rules with Consul-Terraform-Sync.

Discover Consul-Terraform-Sync different run modes and inspect task execution status using REST API.

Service Discovery and Health Monitoring

Register external services with Consul using the Terraform Consul provider.

Provision Infrastructure

Create an image with Packer, containing SSH keys, a new user, and a demo webapp, and deploy it with Terraform.

Learn how to build automated machine images of using Packer.

Manage Virtual Machine Images

Adopt infrastructure as code best practices for on-premise or private cloud infrastructure. Create and load an Ubuntu image to vSphere using Packer. Then, provision and manage a vSphere virtual machine based on that template.

Use the Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes to manage the lifecycle of
cloud and on-prem infrastructure through a single Kubernetes custom
resource. Provision an AWS SQS message queue as a prerequisite for an
application on Kubernetes.

Schedule a NGINX instance and expose it using the Terraform Kubernetes Provider. Configure the provider to access the cluster manually or based on kubectl context. Schedule and scale a deployment, and schedule a service.

Create a Kubernetes cluster with Terraform. Use the Helm provider to deploy the nginx webserver to your cluster.

Deploy and Monitor Applications

Create metrics and endpoint monitors for a pre-configured Kubernetes cluster with the Helm and Datadog Terraform providers.

Manage AWS Services

Configure AWS application load balancers to release an application in a rolling upgrade with near-zero downtime. Incrementally promote a new canary application version to production by building a feature toggle with Terraform.

Set up an S3-hosted static website with Cloudflare for DNS, SSL and CDN. Redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS, and redirect certain paths with Cloudflare page rules. Alternatively, use ACM for SSL certificate management and Cloudfront for CDN.
