You’ll start by reviewing the traditional approach to managing infrastructure, common challenges, and the benefits of adopting IaC and Terraform. You’ll then learn how to install Terraform on various operating systems and get familiar with its configuration language, basic commands, and syntax. The book then turns to provisioning infrastructures on GCP, managing secrets and enhancing security, and concludes with integrating collaboration and DevOps using Terraform.
The power of cloud platforms is growing, providing numerous ways to manage infrastructures more efficiently. While the traditional approach to infrastructure management works well on a smaller scale, it becomes a challenge when dealing with complex or extensive projects. From installation and configuration to advanced provisioning and security practices, this book provides a clear, step-by-step approach to mastering Terraform.
What You Will Learn
