Understanding Terraform: part 1 – What is Terraform?

Understanding Terraform can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledge about Cloud technologies and Infrastructure as Code I started to create sketchnotes about Terraform. I think it could be a good way, more visual, to explain Terraform (and other technologies like Kubernetes, Docker and Istio).

Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code tool, it began a defacto standard but do you know really the tool? :-)

We start the serie of sketchnotes with a sketchnote about What is Terraform:

What is Terraform

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

I'll try to write and publish other sketchnotes about Terraform shortly.

If Docker interests you, I published a book in a paperbook version on Amazon: Understanding Docker in a visual way and also in a PDF/ebook version on GumRoad.

If Kubernetes interest you too, the book Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way is available also.
