## Important Links



* Slides: [speakerdeck.com/ksatirli/iterative-infrastructure](https://speakerdeck.com/ksatirli/iterative-infrastructure)

* Code: [github.com/ksatirli/iterative-infrastructure](https://github.com/ksatirli/iterative-infrastructure)



## Requirements



To use the code in this repository, you will need the following applications:



* [HashiCorp Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) `0.14.4` (or later)

* [HashiCorp Packer](https://www.packer.io/downloads) `1.6.6` (or later)

* Azure CLI [az](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/) `2.0.0` (or later)



Additionally, you will need a GitHub [Personal Access Token](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token).



## Workflows



The code in this repository is split out into a handful of distinct flows, each in their own directory:



* `terraform/azure` contains code for Terraform to set up an Azure Resource Group and generate a Packer variables definition file

* `packer` contains code for Packer to build a (very!) basic image for an Azure Linux Virtual Machine

* `terraform/azure-compute` contains code for Terraform to start a Linux Virtual Machine with the Packer image

* `terraform/github` contains code for Terraform to set up a GitHub Organization's memberships and repository

* `.github/workflows` contains GitHub Actions to ensure code quality for Packer and Terraform projects



Each directory contains its own `README.md` with information relevant to the workflow.



## Additional Reading



While the authors of this repository take care to explain all workflows with the amount of detail required to execute them, the information here should not be considered exhaustive.



This section is a collection of links that will help you make the most of today's session.
