Requirements

To simplify the step by step guide, we assume that you provide the following elements:

• An empty Git repository (you can use Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, AWS CodeCommit, etc.):
  • Later on, we will create two branches (stacks and config)
  • SSH key to access to the repository

• An empty AWS S3 buckets (opens new window). We recommend to enable versioning:
  • ($ organization_canonical $)-terraform-remote-state: Store Terraform remote state file (opens new window)
• Amazon access key:
  • Require permissions to create and execute a AWS EC2 instance
  • Also require read and write permissions on the previous S3 bucket

• An empty Azure blob storage and an Azure blob container (opens new window)
  • Storage: ($ organization_canonical $)tfstate (make sure you respect the Azure storage name restrictions)
  • Container: ($ organization_canonical $)
• Azure credentials (opens new window)
  • client_id, subscription_id, tenant_id, ...
• A subnet id from an Azure virtual network/subnet (opens new window) on which we will be able to create a VM with internet access to download the website source code

• An empty GCP object storage bucket (opens new window):
  • ($ organization_canonical $)-terraform-remote-state: Store Terraform remote state file (opens new window)
• GCP service account key (opens new window):
  • Require permissions to create and execute a GCP compute instance
  • Also require read and write permissions on the previous object storage bucket

Important

In this guide, we use and create two branches into the same git repository to keep things simple. But when you build your own stack, it's up to you to define if you want to use one unique branch, several branches, or even split them across different git repositories.
