Today I started Zero to master AWS-terraform challenge. I'm here to share my today's learning of terraform.
Firstly, I came across literal meaning of Infrastructure as a code (IaC), then why ITs are suffering from traditional methods of infrastructure creation and along side how IaC overcome the shortcoming of traditional methods of infrastructure creation.
Secondly, I go through different Infrastructure automation tools like Terraform (Popular), Pulumi and cloud native tools like AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM, GCP Deployment Manager.
Deep dive into most popular and universal tool - Terraform
- It automates a. provisioning of resource creation b. Maintenance - look into security patches and update leads to more secure.
- Write once, Deploy many
- Consistent environment
Apart from this, I also come across Terraform Architecture, Installation and workflow
Basic Terraform workflow looks like:
- terraform init - set up the working directory
- terraform validate - validate the configuration file
- terraform plan - create an execution plan
- terraform apply - apply the changes to reach the desired state
- terraform destroy - destroy the infrastructure when needed
Overall my sincere thanks to Piyush, who is an instructor of Devops and Cloud. Recently i found in YouTube and its a grate learning process.
