Understand what Terraform is, its use cases, how it works and how it's different from Ansible 💡
Terraform is a tool for infrastructure provisioning to build out infrastructure through code, often called Infrastructure as Code. So, Terraform allows you to automate and manage your infrastructure, your platform and your services that run on that platform. It's open source and declarative, which means you define WHAT you want (the desired "end state") rather then describing exactly each step or HOW to do it.
In this tutorial you will learn what Terraform exactly is, Terraforms use cases or what it's used for, Terraforms Architecture and the basic commands. In addition I also clarify the question of what the difference of Terraform and Ansible is, because they seem to do the same thing.
Furthermore I also go one step deeper and explain what the terms and concepts of "infrastructure provisioning", "infrastructure as code" or "declarative vs imperative" mean. 💡
So, with this Terraform Tutorial you get a really good overview of what Terraform is, how Terraform works, how it does its job to get started quickly. 🙌🏼

Great explanation, thank you.

[@rocksera111]

Terraform with GCP where can we get detailed docs on providers and provisioners

[@raghav1790]

Your training with Terraform is focused with just AWS or does it also cover Azure and GCP too?

[@nickmaiorano296]

Please note that the term you use “infrastructure as a code” is incorrect. It is “infrastructure as code”. I don’t want to be annoying but this could confuse your audience.

[@kimsung2384]

Excellent- love it

Hi Nana, by now I can say you are one of the top instructors in the internet world. Whenever I watch your videos, apart from the main concept, the small tips you give about certain terminologies are really useful. Along with Mumshad, Stephen Maarek, Zeal Vora, you guys rock the internet world!! All the very best and we expect more videos from you!!

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Hi Jerome! Wow thank you so much for your feedback! 💙 Glad it is so helpful to you :)

[@emilcebotarosh43]

I feel like these short informative videos are way better than most of the currently available university courses. You just keep the way more relevant, the explanations are always clear and useful! Thank you for the effort you put into making these videos!

[@robertkviberg]

after 40 years as developer and 30 as CIO I will say your skills to explain are one of the best I have seen so far. Keep the good work gooing, all best to you

it's become increasingly difficult to find well thought out, presented, and narrated videos like this. thanks for creating it!

[@user-kn1nd9xx7c]

yes, because they usually make it paid content, but this channel is very generous.

[@kimsung2384]

I’ve been searching for the best overview and explanation for Terraform. This is the best explanation I’ve seen on the whole internet. Thank you so much for explaining the terms so succinctly! I now understand Terraform much much more

[@rashidakhan77]

Thank you for doing this, Nana. You are a godsend for new people who have so much to learn and nobody to turn to for the kind of clear, simplified, step by step concepts. I am surprised why anyone would downvote these videos -- feel sorry for such people as they are stuck in some kind of a strange mindset. I have been learning a huge amount from your courses -- especially the "From Zero to Hero" ones. Your work is helping tens of thousands of people cut through so much jargon and also helping them see the connections between things.

[@lostsoulparty]

This video explained well what several videos from my companies learning provider had failed to get across. Thanks for being so clear and showing how the parts work together at a high level

Hi Nana, really great tutorials produced by you. The nicest thing about your videos- you keep it simple, to the point and not going off topic or talking rubbish like others. That's why it is easy to understand to learners.

By far the best explanation of Terraform I've seen! Thanks a million!

oh wow. Just started new project, few days ago, i was spammed with tons of tools, customer external modules, apis etc. and wanted to quickly understand Terraform (without reading documentation because i didn't have time for it , yet :D), and I struggled a bit (all of these providers, i didn't know that it has state, so the TF files we already have have some hmm history of changes). Now I know pretty much everything, within 10 mins (speeded up video ;) ). Fantastic!
