What is Terraform? | Terraform Tutorial | #1

Terraform is a tool to build out server infrastructure through code, sometimes called Infrastructure as Code. This allows you to define your entire infrastructure with code for repeatable and consistent builds. Terraform can be used to deploy vm's, storage, networking, DNS, load Balancers and more with cloud infrastructure providers like AWS and Azure among others.

Cloud providers like AWS and Azure have their own way to define infrastructure as code with CloudFormation and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. Terraform takes this a step further and can manage multiple cloud providers in one configuration.

Terraform uses its own configuration language called "Terraform Language" which is based off of HCL.

Hi Will, I'm a new tech support trying to find my spark in a more advanced career. I've watched many playlist about different technologies such as networking, ansible, databases, etc. Very dry material. Could not bring myself to have interest, thinking it was my ADHD.
This video is awesome, straight to the point explained exactly what terraform does and I will watch the playlist and hope this is my spark.

Any advice?
