Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has revolutionized the way we manage and deploy cloud infrastructure, making it more efficient, secure, and scalable. In this essay, I'll share my experience with IaC using Terraform, drawing from the insights gained from reading "Terraform up and running" by Yevgeniy Brikman.

I am sharing the GitHub link on LinkedIn, directing to the repository named 'Terraform'. I have developed infrastructure to create an EC2 instance with specific configurations including VPC, subnet, security group, and PEM file. Feel free to explore this repository to understand best practices. https://lnkd.in/gHCDCnfH #Terraform #AWS #CloudComputing #Automation #DevOps

🚀 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦: 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 "𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡" 𝐚𝐧𝐝 "𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭" 🌐 Hey LinkedIn network! 👋 As cloud infrastructure evolves, so does our need for efficient and scalable management tools. Terraform by HashiCorp is a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that allows us to manage Azure resources with ease. Today, I want to highlight two essential Terraform features: each and count. 🔹 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡: This meta-argument allows you to iterate over a map or set of strings to create multiple resources dynamically. 🔹 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: This allows you to create multiple instances of a resource by specifying a numeric value. 𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉: Best used when you need to iterate over a collection (map or set). Provides access to both key and value during iteration. Ideal for scenarios where you need different configurations for each resource. count: Used to create a specific number of identical resources. Accepts an integer to define how many instances to create. Simple and effective when all resources have the same configuration. By leveraging each and count, we can significantly reduce the complexity of our Terraform configurations while maintaining scalability and flexibility. Happy coding! 💻✨ #Terraform #Azure #IaC #DevOps #CloudComputing #InfrastructureAutomation

A few of you might be wondering what Terraform is all about from my previous posts. Here's a quick overview of how it works and a guide that you might find helpful! Terraform is an open-source tool by HashiCorp, designed to automate and manage infrastructure (virtual machines, networks, etc.) across various environments like AWS, Azure, GCP. Key Concepts: HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language): A declarative language used to define infrastructure in .tf files. Providers: Terraform uses providers to manage resources across different platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, and monitoring tools like DataDog). Resources: Objects managed by Terraform, like servers and databases. State and State Files: The state file keeps a record of your current infrastructure, allowing Terraform to apply changes only where necessary. Terraform follows three steps: 1. Init: Initializes the project. 2. Plan: Creates a plan to align the infrastructure with the desired state. 3. Apply: Implements the necessary changes to reach that desired state. This short guide covers the basics and gives you a glimpse of how powerful and helpful Terraform can be for managing infrastructure. Follow for more. #devops #terraform #aws #ec2 #s3 #cloud

Whether you’re building your own Terraform pipelines or using a Terraform automation platform, a big hurdle we usually see is configuring the pipeline/platform to be aware of new folders and paths in your Git repo. To face this hurdle, we’ve released a major upgrade to the ControlMonkey platform, “Stack Auto-discovery.” This capability detects new folders and paths in your Git repositories and automatically creates corresponding stacks in the ControlMonkey platform. Now, any new Terraform/Tofu code written in your Git repository will automatically be incorporated into the infrastructure CI/CD approval and testing process, ensuring that all resources align with the organization’s standard.

We've designed around this unique feature of Resourcely since the beginning. The correct configuration for nearly anything is "it depends." Ryan's demo shows how guardrails can conditionally set requirements of cloud infrastructure based on user-selectable context. We do the same for other types of context, like properties of the repo, the path we're committing to, or the user.

Really solid blogpost by Ned Bellavance! 🙌 Imagine devs cranking out secure, compliant infra fast while platform teams sleep easy. Resourcely is bringing cloud innovation to the next level ✨. If you’re building in the cloud, you have to check this out! 🚀

Leveling up my cloud infrastructure skills! 🚀 I've been working into AWS EC2 and RDS, trying out different provisioning methods. From the simplicity of the console to the power of automation with CLI, CloudFormation, and Terraform, each approach offers unique advantages. Some key differences I've learned: - Console: Great for quick and easy tasks but can be time-consuming for complex setups. - CLI: Provides granular control and automation but requires scripting knowledge. - CloudFormation: Defines infrastructure as code using templates, making it ideal for repeatable deployments. - Terraform: A powerful open-source tool that supports multiple cloud providers and offers a declarative approach to infrastructure management. Which method do you prefer for your AWS projects? Let's discuss! #AWS #EC2 #RDS #CloudInfrastructure #CloudComputing #DevOps #InfrastructureAsCode HashiCorp #terraform

Interviewer : Have you worked on terraform in your previous project ? Yes , we used terraform for infrastructure provisioning and we do have multiple environments so we used terraform modules . Interviewer : Sounds good, Will terraform directly deploy infra when you enter terraform apply ? Terraform communicates with the cloud provider's API to create resources as defined in the configuration files, and then it prompts us to confirm with Yes or No. Interviewer : Okay, So you said you worked on modules , I wanted to delete a particular service from a particular environment ? How can I do this with terraform ? terraform destroy -target=resource_type.resource_name Interviewer: Thanks :) YouTube : https://lnkd.in/gZdpvz6U #TechIndustry #DevOps #CloudComputing #Terraform #InfrastructureAsCode #AWS #Azure #GoogleCloud #Automation #SoftwareEngineering
