What is infrastructure as code? // Terraform Tutorial

[@RapGroove]

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.

[@christianlempa]

Thank you :) I'm doing videos on these topics from time to time, if you look at my channel playlist for Automation you'll find a lot of good stuff here

[@RapGroove]

@@christianlempa Thank You!! Much Appreciate your reply 🙂

[@YugimanTeam]

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

[@christianlempa]

^Thank you ;)

[@Seba11PL]

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

[@christianlempa]

Amazing 👍 glad you liked it

[@qoutwest]

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

[@christianlempa]

Thanks that honors me!

[@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.

[@christianlempa]

Cool! Thank you ;)

[@cybersecurehacks]

This dude reads brain man. Awesome tutorial again.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks 😁

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!

[@chrisumali9841]

thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

[@christianlempa]

Thanks, you too!

[@foobar108]

Great explanation 🎉 Thanks a lot

[@christianlempa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bthegawd8113]

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

[@christianlempa]

Very cool!

[@jnelly3426]

This is a good video. Great explanation

[@christianlempa]

Thank you :)

[@loserguy777]

Great video, which theme are you using?

[@TempestofTime]

Awesome tutorial. It's nice that TF is finally in 1.x version, using 0.x versions on production felt kinda.. off, even though it worked fine. One comment regarding the video: That "buzzing" while showing "chapter name" was kinda annoying :/

[@christianlempa]

Thanks ❤ awesome feedback!

[@PetritK10]

Nice bro :D, i love Terraform,

[@kenmurphy4259]

Love Terraform…

[@onemanops]

very well done thx

[@christianlempa]

Thx!

[@marcbria6086]

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?

[@christianlempa]

Thank you mate! Terraform is a tool you can use in many different ways, it should be part of SysOp and DevOps toolset.

[@tonynekola8241]

The shell looks awesome , what shell do you use ?

[@christianlempa]

I'm using Windows Terminal and Powershell or WSL2 ZFS and Starship prompt

[@Flako-dd]

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!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks mate! Yeah I think for Homelab Ansible makes more sense

[@klemol5682]

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)

[@christianlempa]

Cheers! I recently did a video about my terminal, it has changed a lot though :D

[@KaydotOrigin]

Can this automate docker-compose files? This is amazing

[@christianlempa]

I don't think so, as docker-compose is another container management tool. Maybe there is a way but I haven't found it yet.

[@bthegawd8113]

Terraform does not manage docker compose let alone docker itself. You can create eks, ecs resource in aws for example but thats about it.

[@Samuel.Mwangi]

If used in combination, yes you can use ansible to orchestrate anything including docker but the fact you can doesn't make it the best way to do it.

[@ronnysimonsen]

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

[@christianlempa]

Nah not yet, I'm not using VMWare so that would be a bit difficult for me to make

[@Technik500]

how do i give you money?

[@christianlempa]

Best is to support me on Patreon :)

[@chswin]

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

Hi bro
