- 4. docker/ Folder • - docker-compose.yml for multi-container apps • - files/ for .env or supporting files
- 5. terraform/ Folder • - main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf • - Used for provisioning infrastructure (VMs, cloud)
- 6. files/ Folder • - Supporting files copied by Ansible or Docker • - Example: index.html for Nginx
- 7. .github/workflows/ Folder • - GitHub Actions automation • - Separate workflows for Ansible, Terraform, Docker Compose
- 8. Typical GitOps Workflow • 1. Developer commits to Git • 2. GitHub Actions triggers • 3. SSH to server or infra host • 4. Run Ansible, Terraform, or Docker Compose • 5. Infrastructure & apps match Git state
- 9. Optional Best Practices • - Use Ansible Vault for secrets • - Use Terraform remote state • - Break large playbooks into roles • - Use branches for environments
