Managing environments

In this section, we will learn about how to create environments and deploy IaC and applications to them. First, let’s configure our environment.

Configuring environments

As we did in Chapter 9, you will need to create two environments named awstest and awsproduction to complete this chapter. Once you have created these two environments, we can proceed with the deployments.

Deploying to environments

We will deploy these two environments by creating a deploy.yml file and start by adding the steps needed for each application. This file will start with the following content; we will be adding to it in every section hereafter:

parameters:
- name: envName
  type: string
  default: 'test'
- name: awsConnection
  type: string
  default: 'aws-packt'
- name: location
  type: string
  default: 'us-east-1'
- name: containerTag
  type: string
