Your First QuickInfra Project: A Complete Onboarding Walkthrough

Getting to your first successful terraform apply on QuickInfra takes under thirty minutes if you follow this guide. Here's exactly what to do.

Step 1: Create Your Organisation

Sign up at console.quickinfra.cloud. You'll be prompted to create an Organisation — this is the top-level entity that all your cloud accounts, projects, and team members belong to. Give it your company name.

Step 2: Connect an AWS Account

Navigate to Manage → Cloud Accounts → Add Account. Select AWS. The wizard generates a CloudFormation template — open your AWS console in another tab, go to CloudFormation, create a new stack using the template URL, and let it run. Once complete, copy the Role ARN output back into QuickInfra. The account status turns green within a few seconds.

Step 3: Create an Infrastructure Project

Go to Projects → Infrastructure → New Project. Give it a name (e.g., "dev-webapp"), select your connected AWS account, choose ap-south-1 (Mumbai) as the region, and select the "Web Application" base template. QuickInfra pre-populates the service list: VPC, public subnet, internet gateway, security group, key pair, EC2 instance, and Application Load Balancer.

Adjust the instance type (t3.micro is sufficient for a dev environment) and click Save.

Step 4: Review the Generated Terraform

Click the Terraform Output tab. You'll see the full Terraform codebase QuickInfra generated from your project configuration — vpc.tf, ec2.tf, security_groups.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf. Review it before applying anything.

Step 5: Plan and Apply

Click View Terraform Plan. The console streams the plan output — you'll see a list of resources Terraform will create with their types, names, and key attributes. No surprises. Once you're satisfied, click Create Infrastructure. Watch the apply stream in real time. After three to five minutes, your infrastructure is live.

Step 6: Verify in AWS

Jump to the EC2 console in AWS and confirm your instance is running. Check the VPC console to see your network. Everything Terraform created is in your account — QuickInfra manages it, but you own it.

What's Next

Connect a CI/CD pipeline to this project, add monitoring alerts for the EC2 instance, and run the initial security compliance scan. Your development environment is ready for use.
