Deploy Terraform
Terraform is deployed on the commandline using make commands configured in the govwifi-terraform Makefile.
Please refer to the govwifi-terraform README for detailed instructions on running Terraform.
The instructions here provide a high level overview of deploying changes in our Terraform
Environments
| Environment | Region | Name | AWS Account |

| Ireland | (also staging) | 99**** | |
| Production | London | wifi-london | 78**** |
| Ireland | wifi | 78**** | |
| Development | London | alpaca | 26**** |
| Recovery | London | e.g. recovery | 50**** |
| Tools | London | govwifi-tools | 26**** |
Prerequisites
These must be complete in order to deploy Terraform changes:
- On-boarded to GovWifi’s AWS account
- AWS credentials set up on laptop
It’s recommended but not required to use the gds-cli.
Deploy to Staging
Deployments in govwifi-terraform pull in changes using modules
configured in the Terraform files located in govwifi/staging
directory:
To deploy Terraform changes to the staging environment, navigate to the project root:
$ cd govwifi-terraform
Ensure the branch is up-to-date by pulling the latest changes from git (git pull).
Run the relevant make command:
$ make staging plan
Using gds-cli
This utility is being replaced with cod-cli (https://github.com/GovWifi/cod-cli).
The remainder of this section is retained until everyone has migrated to cod-cli
If you are using the gds-cli which may be aliased to ‘gds’, use to the staging GovWifi account:
$ gds aws govwifi-staging -- make staging plan
or
$ gds-cli aws govwifi-staging -- make staging plan
Deploy to production
The deploy process is very similar to staging.
The production modules in govwifi-terraform are:
Note: wifi refers to components in eu-west-1 (Ireland).
Follow the same instructions for staging (i.e., navigate to the root project directory and ensure the branch is up-to-date).
The make command for production is:
$ make wifi-london plan
If using the gds-cli it’s:
$ gds aws govwifi -- make wifi-london plan
