Build enterprise-grade IaC pipelines with GitLab DevSecOps

This post details a comprehensive DevSecOps workflow for infrastructure as code (IaC) using OpenTofu and Ansible, orchestrated through GitLab CI/CD pipelines. It showcases provisioning AWS environments with OpenTofu, deploying applications with Ansible, and integrating security scanning for IaC and container vulnerabilities. Key features include custom Ansible execution environments in the GitLab Container Registry, Ansible linting with Code Quality, and secure cloud access via OIDC integration with AWS. It also demonstrates the use of GitLab's OpenTofu components, Terraform state management, module registry, and CI/CD environment variables for configuration.
