Terraform-AWS Architecture

This document provides an architectural overview of the Terraform AWS DevContainer implementation, particularly focusing on the multi-stage Docker build process.

Multi-Stage Docker Build Architecture​

The Terraform AWS DevContainer uses a multi-stage build approach to optimize image size and security while providing all necessary tools for AWS infrastructure development.

Container Components​

The DevContainer consists of several key components working together:

Directory Structure​

The DevContainer project is organized as follows:

Build Process Flow​

The following diagram illustrates the build and deployment flow for the Terraform AWS DevContainer:

Security Architecture​

The container includes multiple layers of security:

Tool Integration Architecture​

Tools within the container are integrated to provide a seamless development experience:

This architecture documentation provides a visual representation of the DevContainer's structure, build process, and integration points to help developers understand the environment they're working with.
