The objective of this project is the creation a continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline!

Requirements

• Our application code lives in a monorepo.
• Build docker images using gh actions each time new code is pushed in one of the monorepo modules
• There need to be two environments. dev and prod
• Use IaC, specifically terraform to provision the infrastructure on azure. This way we can populate both dev and production env by executing a script

Examples
