So far, we looked at Terraform, Terraform Cloud, and GitHub Actions working in tandem. In this chapter, we’ll work on establishing a complete workflow involving multiple branches (staging and main) and a peer review process using GitHub Pull Requests. Without this complete workflow, the GitOps process is incomplete as we need to know at every commit what infrastructure changes are happening. We need to review every PR (Pull Request) that clearly describes the terraform plan to show what changes are being proposed as part of that PR.
