To understand the Infrastructure as Code concept better, I explain how DevOps tasks were done
- before automation and
- after automation.
Infrastructure as Code is a way to automate all these DevOps tasks end to end instead of doing it manually. All the knowledge and expertise of system administrators or DevOps engineers are packed into programs and applications that carry out those tasks.
So, Infrastructure as Code or IaC is a concept and there are Infrastructure as Code tools, like Ansible, Puppet, Terraform or Cloudformation etc that you can use for different tasks.
Why do we have so many different tools, can't we just use one IaC tool? 🙄
Well, no. Because no tool can do everything and each one is good in a specific area. IaC tools automate tasks in different categories for different phases:
3 main task categories:
1) infrastructure provisioning
2) configuration of provisioned infrastructure
3) deployment of application
Distinction of phases:
1) initial setup phase
2) maintaining phase
In most cases you would use a combination of 2 or more IaC tools.

What software did you used in backend demonstration?

[@princeabdul4290]

@Nana I'm not sure if you might see this comment can you explain or make a video on CloudFormation vs Terraform, watch plenty of videos still no concrete details, Thanks.

[@sprintwithcarlos]

Hi Nana! As a teacher myself I really admire your ability to explain complex concepts and make them understandable. The key I think is how you manage to interconnect the different technologies by gathering their similarities and differences. Congrats and thanks for being an inspiration and a role model for all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔝

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thank you so much Carlos for such positive words 😊

[@sprintwithcarlos]

TechWorld with Nana thank you. You are awesome

[@shahmohammadmahsanulislamn6214]

I am starting to fall in love with this channel. Thank you for making these videos. It is helping me a lot.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thank you for the support Shah. 😊

[@jonykiran9901]

I'm an admin from a decade, this video has organised my understanding about various topics in administration, thanks for the great one. A must watch channel.

[@beliciayeap9493]

Thank you so much for this! I'm an ex-biology student who's taking up data science so I don't have a solid background in this field and your video is the only one that I can fully understand! Really appreciate all your efforts!

[@uncleelder4922]

This is hands down the most useful, succinct and understandable video I have seen on IaC. Thank you!

[@acerudate]

Endlich erklärt jemand declarative vs procedural auf eine art die für mich auf anhieb verständlich ist! Danke für den unglaublich guten Inhalt! Weiter so Nana

[@omkarnadkarni4765]

Clear and concise explanations. A big thank you.

[@zeal514]

Omg. This was the best explanation I have seen. Just watched like 10 videos, and I now get when to use which. Great job.

[@sliuuu]

You have a great thinking process, I love the way you structure the video!

[@hamudaanfoune1612]

very informative, for someone who's just getting started in the infrastructure world; this was pretty simple and easy to follow. Thank you :)

[@sandeepm625]

Very nice video that explains the distinction, functions, and scope of these tools. This was much needed

[@madetivasu8182]

Thank you Nana for showing things with easy understanding. Your videos on Devops are really 🔥 at next level

[@Salvvy]

Really enjoy the concepts brought forward in this video. My organization is in the process of selecting tooling for upcoming modernization projects and Docker, K8s, Rancher and Ansible are all possible parts of that portfolio. The technical debt from the traditional method (shown from :30 to 1:50) has crippled our department resources and I'm excited for the DevOps future.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks 😊I think as an engineer the phase of transitioning from non-automated way to automation with modern tools is very exciting, because you get to work on the initial setup and have a great comparison of before:after. I've learnt the most in such projects :)

[@rban123]

This channel is such a great resource especially as I am transitioning into more of a DevOps roll at my company

[@susanasher6939]

Thank you so much for explaining IaC so clearly and simply!

Hi Nana, Thank you veru much for wonderful explanation of the concepts.

[@hemanthpanditi8873]

Loved this video! Thank you so much!

[@samasavinirs]

Great Introduction video Nana. You got another subscriber and a student now. I will look at other videos from you to learn about IAC and all the tools used for it.

[@kanthanbabu]

Thank you Nana.. we are using terraform and ansible

[@dedpossum66]

Your videos are super helpful! I like ansible ( since it uses jinja2 + yaml ), but have not yet provisioned anything large enough to justify using terraform.

[@czintrpt5585]

Typo @~3:50, the main task slide: "serveres" instead of "servers" Otherwise very straight and to the point. You are an awesome instructor And also please don't make me feel that old, it's not so long, long ago we did everything by hand. At least in my mind 🤠

[@TechWorldwithNana]

😊 Maybe it feels like long time ago, because things are developing fast, but you are right 😀 Thanks for your positive feedback!

[@nashwansaman3455]

Thank you for this video.

[@SirSamadShaikh]

Great and very comprehensive video

[@brahmaprakashtoppana5666]

Congratulations Nana, I wish you will achieve more mile stones in future. Waiting for more real-time could infrastructure automation videos

[@TechWorldwithNana]

😊 Thank you so much 🚀

[@ashusinnghparihar9317]

Great video with clear comparision of tools under use, Could you also help us to understand the Openshift Hive usage in this space of infra provisioning ?

[@aravindkrishnan480]

You are awesome :). I always had confusion about these tools' purposes.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks 🙏

[@mudassirfarooq375]

Already used ansible, will start learning terraform now.

[@neonovaC]

I am a beginner and this video is just wonderful. Thank you for such a great explanation, everything is super clear. Oh yeah and i am Nana too 😁

Hi Nana! Nice videos. What are the primary tools and languages, we need to know to become an azure developer or cloud developer. Please share your suggestions.

[@ichoikohwanuki4114]

❤❤❤❤❤❤. well understood

[@rodrigojosef]

Hi Nana. I became your fan. You're very good.

[@jacoby8934]

Why KZbin suggests your videos to me? Probably because I was interested in terraform for cloud purposes but I must say your videos are superb! The explanations, details and your knowledge are awesome. I enjoy them a lot. BTW, Any plans maybe for cloud engineering path video? Or maybe some AWS course? Some of Your specialties (dockers, kubernetes and ansimble) are in demand in the cloud engineering world.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thank you Jacob, glad KZbin suggested it to you 😀Thanks also for your suggestions! You are right, showing how to use them with cloud platform is the next natural way to go. With cloud engineering path, do you mean something like "What tools to learn if you want to become a cloud engineer?"

[@jacoby8934]

@@TechWorldwithNana exactly Nana. What tools to learn for cloud engineering is a good idea (though I think it's not enough to learn only the tools but also to have proper characteristics and personal abilities) but more than that, it will be great if you'll create such a course for specific tools. Promise I'll buy one :) Keep it up with the great videos.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

@@jacoby8934 Sounds good, will consider for sure :)

[@evanstayuka381]

What is the difference between infrastructure as code and configuration as code in detail? When do we use Terraform vs. Ansible (please can you give a detailed example)? I know you touched on the topic in the video but a more detailed explanation with practical examples will help make it clear.

[@Abhi-fg5qu]

Great video NANA. I have Used Ansible for configuration management for database builds. I have question . Does companies want a devops engineer to know each and every tool as I’m trying to get into devops engineer as I’m still fresher with little less than 1 year experience.

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Hi Abhi, you don't need to know each and every tool when starting off. If you know a handful of tools well, it's already valuable. And if you need more tools at work, you can always learn them in the project. So I would focus on 1 or 2 at the beginning.

[@mibaatwork]

Nice, but you forgot one off the best IaaC Tools at the moment: pulumi!!!!!
