Note: CodePipeline supports different sources, such as S3 or GitHub – if you’re comfortable with those services, feel free to substitute them as you walk through the solution.įor the build stage, you’ll use AWS CodeBuild, which is a fully managed CI service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. CodeCommit encrypts the source at rest and in transit, and is integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to customize fine-grained access controls to the source. The source stage uses AWS CodeCommit, which is the AWS fully-managed managed, Git-based source code management service that can be interacted with via the console and CLI. For the purpose of this post, I will not demonstrate how to configure any test or deployment stages. CodePipeline helps us automate our release pipeline through build, test, and deployment. Solution Overviewįor this solution, you’ll use AWS CodePipeline, an automated CD service to form the foundation of the CI/CD pipeline. Note: This post assumes you’re comfortable with Terraform and its core concepts, such as state management, syntax, and command terms. For a full list of supported services, see HashiCorp’s documentation. The CI/CD solution is flexible enough to deploy many other AWS services, security or otherwise, using Terraform. In this solution, you’ll use Terraform configuration files to build your WAF, deploy it automatically through a CI/CD pipeline, and retain the WAF state files to be later referenced, changed, or destroyed through subsequent deployments in a durable backend. When Terraform consumes the configuration file, it generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. You create a configuration file that describes to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire AWS footprint.
With Terraform, you can manage AWS services and custom defined provisioning logic.
Terraform is an open-source tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your applications from common web exploits that could affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. In this post, I’ll show you how to build a CI/CD pipeline using AWS Developer Tools and HashiCorp’s Terraform platform as an IAC tool for AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) deployments. Like the infrastructure your applications are built on, security infrastructure can be handled using infrastructure as code (IAC) and continuous integration/continuous deployment ( CI/CD).
