Another alternative to Terraform is Pulumi. It looks like a promising framework because you can use a/your (favorite) programming language to set up your infrastructure. I would love to see a '100 seconds of Pulumi' video :)

[@mgjulesdev]

Something to note, for some of the providers Pulumi uses Terraform under the hood until it got its own native implementation.

[@comichacker]

Why would one opt to use a imperative or even functional language just to provision VM resources? I think its easier to just have terraform documentations beside and learn as we go.

[@rjhornsby]

Only so much can fit in 100 seconds. I would only have added a quick mention of “‘terraform plan’ lets you validate the syntax and see what terraform _would do_ without making any changes” before ‘tf apply’. Otherwise an excellent and succinct summary. A slightly longer than 100 seconds might throw in a quick “‘terraform import’ can help you build terraform code that matches your existing infrastructure, so you can bring what you have under terraform control”. It’s a great tool. Has made my job way easier in no small part because TF code is sort of a building plan/drawing that can be read and shared - without having to tear out drywall to see what kind of insulation is behind it.

[@_Doskii]

I'm not entirely sure what this does but it sounds nice 🙂

[@James-ln6li]

Just a quick summary... but basically AWS and the other cloud providers offer literally hundreds of services. Normally you order, setup, and configure those services via a web based UI. This is fine if you only have a couple servers and you are not making changes or redeploying servers often. When you get to the point that you have hundreds or thousands of servers, load balancers, dbs, etc recreating all those services in AWS could take months and require you to follow instructions in a word document. Terraform lets you define all of those servers, load balancers, dbs, etc in code. Then Terraform can run that code, talk to AWS, and set it up for you quickly. You get the bonus of being able to code review changes and it makes setting up other environments like DEV, UAT and PROD super quick, plus you get the benefit of knowing they are exactly the same. Terraform is amazing.

[@CoentraDZ]

Same 😂

[@_Doskii]

@@James-ln6li Aha. So it is kind of like a package manager script that would set up all the libraries and dependencies you need for an environment but instead sets up all the cloud services you need. Sounds awesome indeed.

The point of GUI was to replace CLI. Now we are evolving, just backwards

[@GuRuGeorge03]

the cli just acts as the "start", "pause", "stop" button and so forth and u tell it where the files (that have the code) lie. The actual code does not need to be written into the cli, which is what used to be the case that u r referring to

i had only heard of terraform in context of cloud without knowing exactly what it is or what it does. Watching this video i am blown away. Damn that is cool

[@CodeWithPrabesh]

Very useful video. I love how you make complex topic really easy to understand. A suggest from previous burns would be instead of using terraform destroy, it is much better to remove the code block of the infrastructure and run terraform plan/apply again. This way you can be 100% sure it destroys intended resource only. Terraform destroy is a very dangerous command and does not always works as intended.

[@varunsharma5582]

@@thelolladorfking2416 Lol, I am a DevOps engineer, it's almost mandatory to know IAAS with terraform and configuration using Ansible these days with CI/CD these days. To make it simple. Let's say you need a virtual machine on Google cloud with code, you write the code in terraform. Once that code executes, you have all the infra ready. Now, let's say you have a windows machine as your virtual machine and you want to install your node is app with angular on it. Well, you keep those files on a storage account or a FileShare online on Google cloud as well. This can also be made using Terraform. Now Ansible comes into picture. Use Ansible and wrote some powershell scripts for simplicity and you can extract your whole project on the zip and run all the commands to run it remotely using Ansible. So, of you have a constant storage online with all your binaries and projects. With terraform and ansible scripts, you can create the whole infra and move your projects on that infra and run those projects exactly as you want with a single click. And if you're a DevOps person, you can write CI/CD pipelines, so the moment your Dev makes a change in your code base and makes a pull request, automatically a whole infrastructure will be created, and that app will be tested on that infra automatically and if all the test cases pass, pull request will be merged. I hope this demystified the language of Gods for you.

[@user72974]

I know it's hard to fit everything into 100 seconds, but one thing I'd add to this to provide a complete overview of what Terraform does is that it tracks dependencies between resources and will automatically create things in the order needed. For example, if you've got a VM like in this video, but it depended on a private network existing first (because you want the machine to be provisioned into that network), Terraform can create the network first and wait til its ready, and then create the machine, associating them together. Another example would be an AWS Lambda powered API, with all the S3 buckets, API Gateway stuff, the function itself, etc, all tied together.

[@nope6344]

Infrastructure as code is pretty valuable in the devops community and automating server builds in big companies

[@Cerberus8771]

I’ve used Terraform to create a scalable Selenium Grid and other things. I’ve used It via HCL. Terraform also has a CDK and supports languages such as C#, Java, python, etc. There are alternatives to Terraform of course that work just as well or better depending on what you are trying to do and what you are comfortable working with.

[@TheRanguna]

Also checkout terraform cdk, it's still under heavy development but it's gonna be awesome once it's production ready. Tf cdk is basically the same thing as this, but you can actually use a familiar programming language like typescript to define your infrastructure.
