Terraform is an open source tool that enables you to automate and manage your infrastructure, platform, and services using a declarative language.
In this lightboard video, Sai Vennam with IBM Cloud provides a few different use case examples of how terraform can help a user manage existing and popular service providers, as well as custom internal solutions.

This is one of the most explicit and non-ambiguous Terraform briefs I've seen of late Many thanks.

[@tomascastana4091]

I can’t get focused on the explanaition. The way that you resolved the writting on the glass got me stunned. It is terrific

[@according2hani]

I thought I was the only one!

[@MrGastonBorba]

Me too!

[@steferfootballdude13]

Same. I suspect the video is mirrored. Note he writes with his left hand, most people are right handed. There are also people who can write mirror images

[@mindfreaksaad]

oh my god

[@satish1012]

@@steferfootballdude13 Yes if you observe clearly he is writing with Right hand..reason i say is he is wearing watch on other hand.(most of the people ware watch on left hand)

[@kolappanm1972]

One of the finest and simple explanation I saw in KZbin

[@erwinprado7058]

Best explanation. All these other introductions to terraform assume you already know what these attributes do under the hood but you're the first one to explain how!!

[@vsworld7757]

Short and explained very well. I like the example and the way to see notes on top of audio. Awesome, look for more DevOps related videos.Great work! Thank You!

[@kalyanb2002]

Dude your videos are simply awesome. Short videos with loads of information. Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge.

[@sreedevvarma456]

One of the best tutorial videos I have seen.

[@sergiooliver4979]

Clear and easy overview of what Terraform does. Highly recomended.

[@robertjohnson4401]

Excellent overview. I have watched many videos on this subject and no other video presented a complete description of what Terraform can do except this one.

[@rossbrunson5122]

Great job, I was looking for an overview and you gave me more than I thought I wanted!

[@mromar2724]

Great video as always. I especially appreciate the vendor agnostic approach to getting your point across.

[@vincentvictor1]

Awesome and very nicely explained Sai. Your explanation was clear and i was able understand terraform stuff. Appreciate your efforts

[@ageerlenin]

awesome explanation , crisp n clear , great use of mirror board , looks very sophisticated

Hey there, I see there aren't any comments here. Just wanna say this video is great and has helped me a lot. Thanks for your work!

[@lidalida9017]

Thank you for getting straight to the point and explaining it well. Very insightful.

You're welcome, thanks for watching, Lida!

[@anssihirvikoski9157]

As a starter with TF this was huge informatic package - still in understandable form. Thank you!

[@witchmorrow]

amazing explaination Sai. Very impressed! Cheers

[@Henchman0077]

Excellent overview - thank you

[@srivathsan-srinivasan]

Hey Sai, It's interesting. We'd be happy if you guys also curate the content with step by step tutorials as well.

[@firstprincipleslearning]

You can mirror the video while editing. Mystery solved

[@bayesian7404]

One word: Excellent. Thank you.

[@COLD17]

The best IBM material I have ever seen

[@RossiMcF]

your videos are terrific for learning.

[@keooka]

I’m new to terraform and this overview video is the best. The video presentation is very cool, great job 👍🏻. Looking for move videos so can learn terraform.

[@shanvath9442]

I'm new to AWS world , exccllent overview of Terraform!! Great work!

[@condescendent]

Nice demo, I like his simple explainations.

[@sanketlimbekar]

Nicely introduced to TF, thanks :)

YOur explanation is really really nice and crisp. Thank you .Please post tutorial on terraform.

[@douglasfigueroa6778]

Great overview of Terraform!

[@HendrixRoa]

Great explanation!

Hi! What are pros of using IBM Cloud Schematics as compared to CloudFormation and Deployment Manager on AWS and GCP respectively?

[@4citi]

I love the Ibm explanations

Thank You ,,Very nice video on Terraform

[@testingtrail]

Very easy to follow explanation, thank you.

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you, Jorge!

[@niyao7834]

As someone moving more into the infrastructure side, it's surprising to me that this is a new innovation. I would have assumed that automating infrastructure builds would have been the first thing anyone did. Or is Terraform is just the latest and greatest tool for this?

[@zackhartman2799]

It's one of the first public ones. In house solutions existed though

[@monugupta32]

Very well explained, thanks !

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank for watching, Rahul!

[@immortalveejay]

Good explanation

[@RebeliousSapien]

how does this work against Ansible? I read the Ansible is a configuration management tool and terraform is a provisioning tool but i'm not really sure what that means to be honest ... i find them both similar.

[@ManuelCastellin]

A question for the Terraform experts reading here: 🤔 would you consider using Terraform for application deployment in code pipelines or is it just for the cloud infrastructure (Network and compute instances) and you can then use some other orchestrator for the application, like ECS or Kubernetes? Nice video by the way! Tanks for sharing!

[@darylallen2485]

Those are some loud crickets!

[@homebarista]

Sorry for the late reply! Terraform *could* be used for app deployment, but arguably a more extensible alternative is Ansible. Sai introduces it in kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHmyYotvaMpnjaM in the context of infrastructure deployment and ends with noting the application deployment use case (including the time-saving benefit of ready-to-use community contributions from Ansible Galaxy).

[@gauravsingh8980]

Awesome for beginers..

[@leemarositamil8477]

Is there any way to variablize the prevent destroy?

[@ShylaEkansh]

Nice demo, Really liked the approach

[@IBMTechnology]

Glad you liked it! Feel free to browse our channel for more videos like this one. 🙂

[@obfuscateidentity2329]

So does terraform work directly with VMware esxi vsphere? Or only cloud providers?

[@ninadpradhan6566]

What tool are you using to create this invisible white board ?

[@chirag.photos]

Appreciate the effort!

@@IBMTechnology - Guys .. Can you share some docs for using Terraform to provision IBM Infra ?

please do @IBMCloud how to create such videos using this kind of mirror writing technique??

Super 😉

[@001yinkus]

What presentation tool do u use?

[@Skyler827]

Is he writing backwards or is the video flipped horizontally?

[@anitha906]

Learnt 2 min with the example he said

[@Overthought7]

He's pretty good at writing backwards!

[@aceiro1981]

Writing in a mirror it is a mystery. But I like it

[@popstage101]

I am so distracted by the backwards writing on the glass - amazing but also hard to focus lol

[@moonfire5069]

Video is mirrored

[@moonfire5069]

Video is mirrored

[@chrissimms473]

This is a good explanation, but I fail to understand how people can swear by Terraform over Ansible. They're essentially the same when it comes to provisioning infrastructure and both face the same limitations when it comes to taking advantage of the latest and greatest provider APIs. Why not just learn CloudFormation and ARM?

[@basicbill7276]

how does he write backwards with such ease?

[@IBMTechnology]

Lots and lots of practice. (j/k - we reverse it in post-production)

[@bigblackbanana3211]

I thought this was terraforming for animal crossing new horizons

[@dmi3mis]

not open source anymore

[@sv9141]

C'mon, how many takes? :D

[@jordanweaver1737]

Is writing backwards some kind of skill people have these days?

[@moonfire5069]

The video is mirrored

[@dmitriminaev]

Now that TF has dropped support for most provisioners except for the most primitive ones, it has become much less useful, IMHO. Running a script or a cloud-init yaml is not enough to make a server a working server.
