Developer Builds Fully Automated Azure CI/CD Pipeline Using Terraform and GitHub Actions

A developer at Hagital Tech Institute created a one-click CI/CD pipeline that automatically provisions an Azure virtual machine and deploys a live website on every git push. The workflow uses Terraform to build cloud infrastructure and GitHub Actions to install nginx and clone a website repository onto the new VM, requiring no manual SSH access or portal interaction. Terraform's state file is stored remotely in an Azure storage account so that GitHub Actions can track and manage infrastructure across runs. A separate destroy workflow allows the developer to tear down all Azure resources on demand, preventing unexpected cloud charges. The project demonstrates how open-source tools like Terraform and GitHub Actions can fully automate cloud deployment from a local Windows development environment.
