Terraform Pull Request Automation using Jenkins

Jenkins, a popular automation server, can be effectively utilized for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of Terraform code by automating the pull request process. Terraform pull requests enable developers to propose changes to a codebase and have them reviewed before merging, but this review process can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By setting up Jenkins with the Terraform plugin and configuring it to listen for pull requests in the source code repository, the process can be streamlined. Jenkins automates the execution of Terraform plans on pull request code, reports the output back to the pull request, and can even merge the pull request if the plan is successful, thus saving time and ensuring consistency and accuracy in the development workflow.
