Terraform Modules Guide: Best Practices & Examples

Infrastructure as Code is first and foremost code, and a chief principle of writing good software is leveraging abstractions to make your code reusable, scalable, and consistent. Terraform modules are the abstraction provided by HashiCorp to take logical groupings of resources and package them together in a reusable object.

Share outputs between IaC stacks

Share outputs between IaC stacks

As our codebase becomes more complex, it often becomes an issue to maintain one IaC stack for our entire deployment, and we might think of splitting our IaC stack into smaller, more manageable components, with the relevant IaC for the job. The question is how can we pass outputs between deployment stacks? Read on to learn more.

Plan and Apply on PR

Many organizations work almost exclusively in their VCS. For these types of GitOps-style workflows, having to change from their VCS to another platform to handle IaC deployments was both time consuming, and represented an unnecessary distraction. Now, with PR Comment Commands, DevOps engineering can seamlessly interact with their env0 IaC deployment and management platform without ever leaving GIT.

Infrastructure as Code is a Creative Job

Some art forms are not appreciated for their aesthetic value, like music, or literature and poetry. Yet, some ways of sharing such artworks are with a written document, e.g. music sheets and lyrics pages for songs. These art forms evolved as well and new genres of the written word came to be. One of those genres is code.

How to Implement fine-grained Role-Based Access Control for Your Infrastructure as Code with Custom RBAC Roles

In a world where infrastructure is constantly changing and evolving, it's more important than ever to have tight controls over who can make what changes. Granular RBAC allows you to give each user only the permissions they need to do their job, nothing more. This reduces the potential attack surface of your infrastructure and helps to prevent breaking changes.

CI/CD for App Development vs. CI/CD for Infrastructure as Code

The rise of Infrastructure as Code has revolutionized the management of infrastructure and the way we provision and maintain platforms for application deployment. Rather than manually deploying infrastructure through a CLI or GUI, we can now treat our infrastructure in the same way we treat our applications.
