Salutron - Learning Terraform & AWS

About This Project

A professional DevOps project built to master Terraform, Docker, and AWS deployment.
This project demonstrates enterprise-level Infrastructure as Code practices with full automation and multi-environment support.

🚀 Key Professional Features

                    🏗️ Multi-Environment Infrastructure
                    3 isolated environments (dev/test/prod)
Terraform workspaces for state management
One codebase, multiple deployments
Production-ready architecture

                

                    ⚡ One-Command Deployment
                    make deploy-dev - Complete deployment
make destroy-dev - Complete teardown
Fully automated: build → push → deploy
Zero manual AWS Console interaction

                

                    🔧 Enterprise Automation
                    Bash scripts for deployment orchestration
Makefile for developer experience
End-to-end CI/CD workflow
Repeatable and consistent deployments

                

                    🔐 Secure Secret Management
                    Environment variables via .env files
Secrets never committed to Git
Terraform sensitive variables
Production-grade security practices

                

                    🌐 Production-Ready Configuration
                    Custom domain support with SSL/TLS
Environment-specific auto-scaling
Production configuration via prod.tfvars
Automatic certificate management

What I Learned

🏗️ Infrastructure as Code

Terraform workspace management
Multi-environment deployments
Resource dependencies & outputs
State management best practices

🐳 Containerization

Docker multi-stage builds
ECR repository management
Image optimization techniques
Container security practices

☁️ AWS Services

App Runner for serverless containers

Architecture & Deployment

Complete automated deployment workflow - from code to production in one command:

🔄 Automated Deployment Flow

Build Docker image with Python + Flask + OpenAI
Login to ECR and push container image
Terraform creates infrastructure (App Runner, ECR, IAM, S3*)
App Runner pulls image and deploys automatically
Auto-scaling based on traffic
HTTPS endpoint configured automatically

*S3 bucket created for learning Terraform resource management
