Deploying your Azure Infrastructure with Terraform | DevOps Lab

Abel sits down with Technical Solutions Professional April Edwards to talk about using Terraform to deploy to Azure. In today's DevOps world, Infrastructure as Code is a vital component.

ARM templates are great but can be difficult to author. Terraform is a great option. Not only can you use Terraform as your IaC for Azure, it works across multiple clouds and even on prem.

In this episode, April dives in and shows us how to define and deploy our infrastructure into Azure using Terraform.

Love Terraform, such a simple tool to use.

[constantfear]

damn, I struggled with Arm templates for two years only started with Terraform when moving to an AWS shop. So much better - can't wait to use it in Azure.

I had to check my video speed twice for the speaker on the right. Speaker's CI (brain building content artifacts) and CD (content artifacts delivery speech) is in real-time.

Beginners can start with this video but you gotta re-play multiple times to get a hold on to her flow.

[dougschaef]

potentially dumb question but why didn't you guys use the latest version of terraform in this? is it not compatible with Azure and CloudShell?

[agentorange]

Terraform (multi-cloud IAC automation), > Azure ARM templates or AWS Cloud Formation.

[csmarpuri]

as someone mentioned below, reduced the speed to 0.75 and now she sounds speaking at normal speed

[gregonometry]

I am a little confused. Where does Terraform pull the variables from using a service prinipal?

[iyerpram]

Very nice Cloud agnostic automation tool

[TheCmmentSection]

It's amazing when you change the playback speed to .75 she talks at a normal pace :).

[mondragonsi]

Hey Guys, can I create an AwaysOn availability group using terraform?

[artisticcheese]

How exactly can this incorporated into CI/CD or even manual steps if you rely on state file for everything and you are not supposed to check in this state file into Source Control

[mjp]

Yo, you gotta slow down, I had to replay a lot of this video just to make sure I did not miss anything.

[furygaming]

I think should be little slow so that beginners can understand clearly

[tovijayshukla]

Terroform script doesn't look any less scarier either.

[MRadwanMSF]

The following video will show step by step working with Terraform for Azure

[ilishmaach]

Love the fast talking. Too many tech videos are at a dawdling pace.

[csmarpuri]

what a talking? it could have been much simpler has she gone a bit slower

[schillaci]

This concept is crap, here's a better solution, oh wait it's gotten too complex, here's a an even better solution.
