HashiCorp Packer Terraform and Ansible to Set Up Jenkins

This video discusses #HashiCorp #Packer #Terraform and #Ansible to set up #Jenkins for CI/CD in Azure. This is the second video in a new video series called End-to-End Infrastructure and Application Deployment. The goal of this series is to learn best practices around the automation of infrastructure provisioning and application deployment. We cover the concepts of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, secrets management, dynamic secrets, the secret zero problem, service mesh, and more. Our cloud of choice is Azure for this series. Our focus for this video is on the second step and that is to set up our CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins. This is done by following the steps below: 1. Use Packer to build an Azure image that has Docker installed. 2. Create a Docker container that contains Jenkins, Vault, Terraform, and Ansible. 3. Use HashiCorp Vault to retrieve Azure credentials to use for Terraform 4. Run Terraform to build a Jenkins VM in Azure based on the Packer image. 5. Use Ansible to configure the Jenkins VM by running the Docker container. I've also written a blog post that goes with this video: Part 2: HashiCorp Packer, Terraform, and Ansible to Set Up Jenkins ► https://tekanaid.com/posts/hashicorp-... ▬▬▬▬▬▬ T I M E S T A M P S ⏰ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Introduction 01:50 - Agenda 02:44 - Overall Goal 04:17 - Topics To Learn 05:26 - Set Up Jenkins Diagram 07:38 - Folder Structure 09:08 - Packer Demo 18:44 - Terraform Demo 20:56 - Retrieve Azure Creds from Vault 24:13 - Terraform Code Walk-through 31:14 - Ansible Demo 34:23 - Ansible Code Walk-through 36:39 - Dockerfile Walk-through 42:39 - Check Jenkins Machine 43:15 - Recap ▬▬▬▬ Some tools used in this series ▬▬▬▬ HashiCorp Packer HashiCorp Terraform HashiCorp Vault HashiCorp Consul Jenkins Ansible Microsoft Azure ▬▬▬▬▬ Topics to Learn in this series ▬▬▬▬▬ 1.
