About This Architecture

Infrastructure-as-code CI/CD pipeline orchestrating Packer AMI builds, Ansible provisioning, and Terraform deployments on AWS. CodePipeline triggers CodeBuild to execute Packer, which bakes Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with nginx and PHP into an AMI, logs to S3 and CloudWatch, then validates via CINC Auditor InSpec tests before manual approval gates Terraform provisioning to eu-west-1. This pattern eliminates configuration drift, accelerates deployments, and ensures compliance through immutable infrastructure and automated testing. Fork and customize the pipeline stages, adjust EC2 instance types, or extend validation rules directly on Diagrams.so. The feedback loop from CINC Auditor back to Packer enables rapid iteration on image quality without manual rebuilds.

People also ask

How do I build an automated CI/CD pipeline that creates AMIs with Packer, validates them with InSpec, and deploys infrastructure with Terraform on AWS?

This diagram shows a complete AWS CI/CD pipeline where CodePipeline orchestrates CodeBuild to run Packer, which bakes Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Ansible-provisioned nginx and PHP into an AMI. CINC Auditor validates the AMI via InSpec tests, and upon approval, Terraform provisions EC2 instances in eu-west-1 with the validated image, ensuring immutable, compliant infrastructure.
