Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: From Zero to Hero
Walk readers through building and deploying infrastructure with Terraform
In the world of modern DevOps, managing infrastructure manually is a thing of the past. To truly harness the power of automation and scalability, teams are turning to Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Terraform, one of the most powerful and popular IaC tools, allows you to define your entire infrastructure in code, enabling you to provision, manage, and scale your resources with ease.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the basics of Terraform, explain its core concepts, and show you how to build and deploy infrastructure on AWS from scratch. By the end of this post, you’ll have the knowledge to confidently use Terraform to automate your infrastructure management.
What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable script files, rather than through manual processes. IaC allows you to automate the setup, scaling, and management of your infrastructure, which leads to faster development cycles, fewer human errors, and consistent environments across multiple stages.
