Terraform has become a key player in the DevOps world for defining, launching, and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) across various cloud and virtualization platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and others. This practical third edition, expanded and fully updated for version 1.0 and beyond, shows you the fastest way to start working with Terraform.
The co-founder of Gruntwork, Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman, guides you through code examples that demonstrate Terraform's simple, declarative programming language for deploying and managing infrastructure with just a few commands. Experienced sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and novice developers will quickly move from Terraform basics to running a full stack that can support high traffic and a large team of developers.
Compare Terraform to Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation, Docker, and Packer.
- Deploy servers, load balancers, and databases.
- Create reusable infrastructure with Terraform modules.
- Test Terraform modules with static analysis, unit tests, and integration tests.
