Docker container automation with Terraform¶
Docker container automation with Terraform involves using Terraform to provision and manage Docker containers as part of an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflow.^[400-devops__08-Infrastructure-as-Code__devops-terraform__learn-terraform-docker-container__README.md]
Workflow¶
The typical automation process begins with initializing the workspace.^[400-devops__08-Infrastructure-as-Code__devops-terraform__learn-terraform-docker-container__README.md] The user must then define the desired infrastructure state within configuration files, specifying details such as the image to use and port mappings.^[400-devops__08-Infrastructure-as-Code__devops-terraform__learn-terraform-docker-container__README.md]
Once the configuration is prepared, the workflow involves formatting the configuration for validation, applying the changes to create or update resources, and finally modifying the state to introduce changes, such as adding tags or other metadata.^[400-devops__08-Infrastructure-as-Code__devops-terraform__learn-terraform-docker-container__README.md]
