I really like your teaching style. No slide decks, no reading verbatim from notes, just real demos. This was a lot of great info in 27m. Thanks so much!

Nice to finally see a Terraform video that is an actual hands-on tutorial!

Terraform is multi-cloud but that doesn't mean you can take your aws template and move it gcp or azure, you still need to research and rewrite your whole infrastructure for the targeted cloud provider. And any differences in services you still need to be aware of and understand. Kubernetes is more portable but it still relies on cloud provider servers such as load balancers, vpcs, etc. which can work differently between cloud providers.

I’m currently using terraform at work and I’m loving it ❤

Love how I stumbled on your channel for a monitor review, now I am hooked with all your other content! Thank you for this great video, been playing around with it lately, so this is some good reminders!🙌🏾

Dude, you’re an incredibly clear speaker, everything made sense and now I’m madly excited about Terraform. We use it at work but I’ve always avoided it in lieu of making changes manually. So amped! Also, I’m heading straight to your networking video next, so much to learn.


And while people might nitpick aspects of your video format, I think overall it’s a solid 9.5/10 (nothing’s perfect, but you did a phenomenal job getting me to appreciate Tf and see why it’s worth getting into). Cheers mate!

Hi Travis. Your videos are really helpful. It would be great if you increase the font size a bit for better visibility.✌

Thanks for your video! Very helpful for consolidating my understanding of terraform as a newbie. (I wrote my first terraform configuration file today.)

[unclehugo]

Not me searching for another stuff and stumbling on your video, now i am hooked. Thank you so much, big ups.

[michelramirez]

Your teaching style is awesome! it will be great to have a second part of this terraform video in which you go more in-depth of other advanced topics such as modules, filters, terraform cloud providers, etc.

[dwarslopers]

Cool that you combine your network video with this.

Great video. No bs, straight to the point. Thank you brother!

[Raghugowni]

I like the way you explain. You don't refer any sheet for configuration with that you covered more content in short video. Thank you so much.

So glad for this video, I just started having to touch terraform code last week. This got me up to speed at work.

I just saw terraform this word recently, and saw your video now. Then I noticed this video was published 1 year ago😅. Thanks for making so many enlightening videos.

Thats an amazing “Intro to Terraform” Thanks Travis

[sharadkumar]

Hi Travis! First of all Super Thankyou!!
I m new to terraform learning .. the way you have explained here with just one example that compelled me to like and subscribe.
You channel is my new addiction.🤩

I've only recently put on my Terraform training wheels. I'm really loving it so far and this video has helped me to cement things in my brain. As a non programmer that's trying to launch myself into a new career I struggle with a few concepts but you have really helped me to understand them. However, I followed along with this project and I cant seem to figure out where I have gone wrong. My user data script runs fine and index.html is created. I need to fine tune my networking so I am able to view it in browser. I only get as far as a loading wheel so not sure if my SG or VPC are working as expected at the minute.

Really love the content and your story resonates with me. One day I'll get there too!

Thank you this is a God sent I was looking to automate infrastructure using code!
