Leveraging CodePipeline to deploy Terraform

This led me to two problems. The first was the perennial issue I've had with Terraform from day one: "How do I manage state?". The second issue was how do I leverage some form of CI/CD tooling to allow me to leverage one of Terraform's biggest strengths - the terraform plan capability. Since Fooli is an AWS product, I figured that I should be able to use AWS native tools for this. I've used CodePipeline in the past to preview change-sets with aws-org-formation, so I thought it would be easy to find a well-worn pattern from AWS on doing it.

  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  

I've been on the CloudFormation side of the IaC Wars since 2014, when I started working in AWS. I've dabbled in terraform but never made it my primary IaC choice. For the Fooli Meme Factory, I needed to mess things up and then quickly revert the state to what it was at deployment time. So for SECCDC 2023, I ported Meme Factory almost entirely over to Terraform.
