Azure Terraform CI/CD Pipeline
Multi-stage infrastructure delivery with approvals
Overview
Designed multi-stage pipelines that provision Azure infrastructure with Terraform. Key Vault, App Service, MySQL, and Static Web Apps are deployed per environment from the same definition, with plan output published for review and manual approval gates guarding the staging and production applies.
Engineering focus
A plan is only useful if a human reads it. Publishing the plan as an artifact and gating apply behind approval is what separates automated infrastructure from unattended infrastructure.
