Using Ansible and Terraform Together
summary
Demonstrates Terraform provisioning two Azure Linux VMs and exporting the private key, public IPs and username which a GitHub Actions job parses into an Ansible inventory and runs a playbook that installs and starts Nginx; the pipeline runs Terraform apply (auto-approve), writes id_rsa, builds inventory from JSON outputs, installs Ansible and finishes in about three minutes with the Nginx page reachable. Covers local-exec, remote state, dynamic inventory and a Spacelift integration.
