Terraform + GCP Tutorial Beginners (Part 3) | GitHub Multi-Environments & CI/CD Promotion (Dev→Prod)

In this video (Part 3 of the series), you’ll learn how to design a real-world Terraform CI/CD workflow using multiple environments and GitHub Actions promotion strategy. We will go beyond basic pipelines and implement production-grade practices used in companies. 🚀 What You’ll Learn ✅ Configure Terraform environments (DEV, QA, UAT, PROD) ✅ Manage environment variables & remote state files ✅ Setup GitHub Environments for approval & security ✅ Implement CI/CD promotion workflow (Dev → QA → UAT → Prod) ✅ Create separate pipelines: gcp_terraform_dev.yml → Auto deploy on code push gcp_terraform_promote.yml → Manual promotion across environments 🧠 Why This Matters This is how real teams manage infrastructure safely: Prevent breaking production Enable controlled deployments Add approval gates before production Keep environments isolated Tutorial Scripts https://github.com/datawithmasudur/GC... 🛠️ Tech Stack Terraform Google Cloud Platform (GCP) GitHub Actions (CI/CD) 📂 Project Structure (Example) ```envs/ dev.tfvars qa.tfvars uat.tfvars prod.tfvars .github/workflows/ gcp_terraform_dev.yml gcp_terraform_promote.yml``` 🔁 Series Playlist ▶️ Part 1: Setup, Service Account, Plan, Apply ▶️ Part 2: CI/CD Pipeline, Remote State, GitHub Setup ▶️ Part 3: Multi-Environment & Promotion (this video) ▶️ Part 4: (coming next...) 💡 Pro Tip Always use separate environments + promotion strategy instead of deploying directly to production. 👍 If this helped: Like 👍 | Subscribe 🔔 | Comment 💬
