This is a demo project for education/training purposes of DevOps. It automates (using Terraform) the provisioning of a static website using the following resources in Akamai Cloud Computing (former Linode) environment:
- Object Storage: S3 compliant object storage.
Please check the files iac/linode*.tf for more details.
It also do the the provisioning of the Akamai Edge resources that includes:
- CP Code: Identifier used for reporting and billing of the traffic. (Please check the file
iac/akamai-cpcode.tffor more details). - Edge Hostname: Hostname that will deliver the content of the website. (Please check the file
iac/akamai-edgehostname.tffor more details). - Edge DNS entries: All required DNS entries to validate the TLS certificate and also point to websiteto the Edge
Hostname. (Please check the file
iac/akamai-edgedns.tffor more details). - Property: Configuration that contains the delivery rules such as: caching, redirect, performance settings, etc.
(Please check the file
iac/akamai-property.tffor more details). - Security: Configuration that contains all security protections such as: Network Lists, DDoS, IP/GEO firewall, WAF,
Bot Management, etc. (Please check the file
iac/akamai-security*.tffor more details).
All the Terraform files use variables that are stored in the iac/variables.tf, iac/general/settings.json,
iac/dns/settings.json, iac/property/settings.json and iac/security/settings.json.
The tokens and credentials must be defined in iac/.credentials file. Please follow the template
iac/.credentials.template.
You can customize the provisioning by editing these files. Use the template as base.

The workflow will start automatically in every commit of changes in this project, starting the execution of a CI/CD pipeline configured in Jenkins. Please check this repo to see how to provision the CI/CD pipeline.
The provisioning state is stored in an Object Storage (that should be provisioned in advance). By default, it uses Akamai Cloud Computing, but you can use any other provider compatible with S3.
