Automating Infrastructure with Terraform, Proxmox & Ansible

Overview

This project is part of the OSFP DevOps Bootcamp led by Sir Babar Zahoor. It demonstrates a fully automated lab environment using Terraform for VM deployment on Proxmox and Ansible for configuration management.

Key Highlights

• ✅ Terraform for automated VM provisioning on Proxmox
• ✅ Ansible for seamless configuration management
• ✅ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatability and scalability
• ✅ Fully automated DevOps workflow for efficiency and consistency

Technologies Used

• Terraform - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool
• Proxmox - Virtualization platform
• Ansible - Configuration management tool

Project Workflow

1. Terraform Deployment

   • Defines the VM infrastructure in Terraform configuration files.
   • Uses Terraform to deploy four virtual machines on Proxmox.

2. Ansible Provisioning

   • Automates configuration, package installation, and system setup.
   • Ensures all VMs are configured according to the required environment.

3. Scalability & Automation

   • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles ensure repeatability.
   • Fully automated workflow enhances efficiency in managing infrastructure.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Terraform
• Proxmox
• Ansible
• SSH access to Proxmox and VMs

Deployment Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git https://github.com/ShahzaibRao/OSFP-DevOps-Bootcamp.git
   cd  OSFP-DevOps-Bootcamp

2. Configure Terraform variables as per your Proxmox environment.
3. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

4. Apply Terraform configuration to deploy VMs:

   terraform apply -auto-approve

5. Run Ansible playbooks to configure VMs:

   ansible-playbook -i inventory setup.yml

Conclusion

This lab environment is a perfect demonstration of modern DevOps practices, ensuring consistency and automation in infrastructure management. Excited to keep learning and building! 🚀
