Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as code (or IaC) is fast becoming the must have method for deploying and managing infrastructure. Most, if not all, cloud infrastructure service companies offer a way to deploy and configure infrastructure via declarative code.

Below you will find guides on how to deploy Twingate to the “big three” cloud providers:

• GCP
• AWS
• Azure

All guides cover the deployment of the following infrastructure using Terraform:

Twingate

• A new Twingate Remote Network
• A new Twingate connector (attached to the Remote Network)
• Access and refresh tokens created for the new connector
• New Twingate resource for newly created Nginx virtual machine
• New Twingate group for accessing new network and resource

Cloud Provider (GCP, AWS, Azure)

• A new VPC
• A new subnet in this VPC
• Firewall rules
• A new virtual machine with the Twingate connector installed and configured
• A new virtual machine with Nginx installed and started

Recommended Tools

During this guide we will be using the following:

• Visual Studio Code (IDE, recommended but any text editor can be used)
• Terraform (IaC)
• Twingate API (and the Terrform Provider)
• Twingate Client

Setup 💪

Before we going into the step-by-step guides, make sure the following is setup:

• ✅ vscode or other text editor installed
• ✅ Terraform installed
• ✅ Twingate client installed
