Using the repository

1. Clone the repository.

2. Configure the secrets and environment variables on Github:

• TF_CLOUD_ORGANIZATION: organization in which the project is created in Terraform Cloud.
• TF_API_TOKEN: token generated in Terraform Cloud.
• TF_WORKSPACE: name of the workspace in Terraform Cloud where the implementation of resources will be executed.

3. Configure environment variables in Terraform Cloud:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: IAM AWS access key ID.
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: IAM AWS secret access key ID (sensitive).

4. As the entire process is carried out via CI, to implement the infrastructure it is necessary to make a Pull Request of any change and perform the Merge.

5. Another way is to directly access Github Actions and run the workflow in the dashboard.
