Infrastructure Pipeline

A CI/CD pipeline that validates, plans, and applies infrastructure as code changes.

Definition

Typical stages are format and lint, validate, security/policy scan, plan with review, and apply after approval. Remote state locking prevents concurrent applies.

Example

A pull request runs terraform fmt -check, validate, tfsec, and posts the plan as a comment; merge triggers apply.

Exam tip

Always review a saved plan before apply in automated pipelines.
