Deploy an Application with Cloudflare DNS and CDN

This ready to use example show you how to deploy an application from GitHub on AWS and make it accessible via a custom domain and HTTPS. All of that in just a few lines of Terraform file.

Terraform providers used:

• Cloudflare
• Qovery

Behind the scene

Behind the scene, Qovery:

1. Creates a complete infrastructure on your AWS account (VPC, Security Groups, Subnet, EKS/Kubernetes...)
2. Creates Qovery resources:
3. Organization Terraform Demo
4. Project URL Shortener
5. Environment production
6. Application web app
7. Builds web app application
8. Pushes web app container image in your ECR registry
9. Deploys it on your EKS cluster (created by Qovery)
10. Creates an AWS Network Load Balancer
11. Generates a TLS certificate for your app
12. Exposes publicly via HTTPS your application

It will take approximately 20 minutes to create your infrastructure and less than 5 minutes to deploy your application.

How to use

1. Clone this repository
2. Sign in to Qovery
3. Install the Qovery CLI and generate an API Token with this guide.
4. Generate your AWS credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) with this guide
5. Open you terminal and run the following command by changing the values:

export TF_VAR_aws_access_key_id=YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
TF_VAR_aws_secret_access_key=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
TF_VAR_qovery_access_token=YOUR_QOVERY_API_TOKEN \
TF_VAR_qovery_organization_id=YOUR_QOVERY_ORG_ID

6. Clone my URL Shortener application
7. Edit the main.tf file and change https://github.com/evoxmusic/ShortMe-URL-Shortener.git with yours
8. You can now run the Terraform commands

terraform init

terraform plan

terraform apply

7. Open your Qovery console to find out the HTTPS URL of your deployed app.
8. To tear down your infrastructure and avoid unnecessary cloud costs you can run terraform destroy.
