Terraform created the necessary infrastructure in Alicloud to launch the application’s microservices.
Terraform scripts have been optimized for Terraform Workspaces.
The following Terraform providers were involved: AliCloud, kubernetes.
Initially, it was planned to deploy microservices through Terraform, but it was later decided to separate the deployment of the infrastructure from the deployment of the application in the Kubernetes cluster.
The infrastructure consists of Terraform modules: Networking, Kubernetes, Postgres RDS, Redis.
The Networking module consists of the following resources: alicloud_vpc, alicloud_vswitch, alicloud_nat_gateway, alicloud_eip, alicloud_eip_association, alicloud_snat_entry;
Kubernetes module: alicloud_cs_kubernetes;
RDS module: alicloud_db_instance, alicloud_db_account;
Module Redis: alicloud_kvstore_instance.
In the development process, Kubernetes resources were used: kubernetes_namespace, kubernetes_secret, kubernetes_deployment, kubernetes_replication_controller, kubernetes_service, kubernetes_horizontal_pod_autoscaler.
For deployment of the application in the Kubernetes cluster prepared specifications for the creation of Namespaces, Deployments, Services, Horizontal Pod Autoscalers, Ingresses.
Our experience
We have lately assisted a client in migrating their application written in Ruby on Rails (RoR) from Heroku to Amazon Web Service (AWS). The migration was motivated by the developing app’s need for greater capacity and flexibility at a minimal cost. It was a production app without testing servers, so there was no room for […]

How we reduced the cost of using AWS resources. In most cases where we reduced the AWS costs the reason was a wrong built architecture, to which we made changes. Sometimes resources were used incorrectly from the beginning, sometimes when the application expanded, the architecture needed to be changed. Since the project is under the […]
