What is infrastructure as code? // Terraform Tutorial

Let's talk about Infrastructure as code with Terraform. What is it? And why do we need that in IT? I also show you how to get easily started with Terraform and use it to deploy Docker Infrastructure. But I also show you a Cloud Deployment and how to use Terraform within your projects. #Terraform #Infrastructureascode #CloudComputing

Christian, Could you kindly create an A-Z tutorial session on DevOps? Your content is far more comprehensible and engaging than any other courses I have come across.

Terraform is SO AWESOME took a course not to long ago and its F***ing Brilliant!!! and so helpful. Especially if you use Modules!

[qoutwest]

Great video. I have been using TF for a few months in a large environment and this was perfect!

[Saadhacks]

This dude reads brain man. Awesome tutorial again.

[heyredux]

Very detailed explanation, thank you very much.
I started using Terraform and Ansible two days ago to learn about Infrastructure as Code.
Your video comes in very handy.

I would only add that nowadays Cloudflare encourages to use api_token instead of api_key. Also in civo provider its good to use region - It took me a short moment to figure out why i dont see created server in civo dashboard - it was placed in NYC1 zone by default which i dont use:). A word of explanation of how terraform interprets many files would also be usefull. Just my 2 cents as feedback. Anyway, this tutorial and setup is simplest i could find in internet. Thank you!

Awesome tutorial! Much better than spending time on reading documentation 😀😀

[chrisumali]

thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

I use terraform daily for my job. It’s amazing and easy to track all the resources created for our cloud workloads.

[jnelly]

This is a good video. Great explanation

[loserguy]

Great video, which theme are you using?

[klemol]

Thank you for this video. Can you perhaps share which shell are you using in this video and its config file ? I really like type-ahead prediction (like at 9:18)

From a Homelab perspective I prefer ansible + docker I don't really have servers standing around like cattle. All my servers are trash to treasure snowflakes :)
Enterprise use cases are of course a different thing.
At any rate, great video!

[KaydotOrigin]

Can this automate docker-compose files? This is amazing

[marcbria]

Big fan of your work. Thanks!
I have a stupid doubt about terminology... as terraform is for infrastructure would be more a SysOp tool than a DevOps?

[tonynekola]

The shell looks awesome, what shell do you use ?

[ronnysimonsen]

In a way Terraform make me think about IBM Openshift. How about making a tutorial about Terraform with VMWare? Maybe you already did?

What it is, is the world telling the non-programmer IT switch and knob tinkerers that it is time to learn how to code.

[TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

OUCH 😣 that transition sound on the chapters or when a title appears is so annoying and makes that video so hard to hear. Especially if you want to focus and learn something from it. Hope there will be a new version someday where that sound is not present
