Automated VPS provisioning and deployment uses Terraform to create Hetzner instances and Docker Compose to orchestrate application releases. This config-as-code approach provisions servers, configures DNS, and deploys containers with zero downtime via a single command.

Set up automated CI/CD pipelines for Docker deployments using GitHub Actions to build images, update DNS records, and deploy to production VPS instances. This pipeline orchestration supports automated rollback capabilities to ensure reliable releases.

Managing DNS and SSL certificates automatically is supported using Caddy and Cloudflare. The infrastructure configuration integrates both tools during the deployment process to provision and renew SSL certificates while updating DNS records automatically.

Before provisioning Hetzner VPS instances with Terraform, you need a specific SSH key for access and valid Cloudflare credentials. The config-as-code paradigm requires these environment prerequisites to provision servers and manage DNS correctly.

Zero downtime deployment with Docker Compose and Caddy works by orchestrating container updates and routing traffic through the Caddy reverse proxy. The CI/CD pipeline builds new images, deploys them, and switches traffic without dropping active connections.

Using a config-as-code approach for cloud infrastructure management ensures consistency and reduces manual overhead. By defining VPS provisioning, DNS, and deployment pipelines as code, you streamline complex operations and minimize human error during production releases.
