## Prerequisites

In order to deploy the infrastructure, you need to have a Google Cloud Platform account, and have the `gcloud` CLI installed. You will also need to setup the gcloud command to use the project you want to deploy to.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use our home baked helper script to do this for you: `./scripts/gcloud_setup.sh`
{% endhint %}

Multiple variables are required to deploy the infrastructure, you can either set them in the `terraform.tfvars` file or input them when prompted

## Deploying

Launching terraform will create a new inventory file that wil be used by Ansible to provision the jenkins instance.

If you made any changes to the terraform files, you can apply them by running:

```bash
$ make deploy-terraform
```
