Dev Container

Target Audience

People interested in DevOps culture and would like to create Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Abstract

VS Code as a dev-container for smart-provisioning

The idea is to create an common environment to a team. In short, a development container is created with all the tools necessary to share Terraform templates across a DevOps team.

Pre-requisite

You must have Docker installed on your local machine.

Hands-on session

Download VS Code, then from VS Code: Git: Clone utility, you will clone the repository. After that, VS Code: will pop-up to Reopen in Container. Do it, and wait to the container image to be deployed.

Service and related products

  1. Golang
  2. Terraform
  3. VS Code

Golang

Terraform

The dev-container has the Terraform binary installed.

VS Code

The process installs some VS Code Extensions to save time for the team.

Extensions:

  • golang.Go
  • 4ops.terraform
  • omartawfik.github-actions-vscode
  • redhat.vscode-yaml

How to use

  1. Clone the repository using VS Code.
# On Linux
CTRL+SHIFT+P or F1

# Type there
Git: Clone

# Type the repository name
https://github.com/thiagofborn/tf-ghactions
  1. If the message to Reopen in Container does not show up as the picture depicts

Open

  • Open a new VS Code Window
  • Go to File
  • Open the folder
  • Select the root folder you have cloned tf-ghactions

That will force the Reopen in Container to show up.
