Terrafrom: Up & Rnning, 2nd Edition

Terrafrom


How Terraform works

  1. Written in Go
  2. Compiles to one binary

Terraform Configurations

1.Text files that specify what infrastructure you want to create. These configurations are the “code” in “infrastructure as code.

2.Example below

resource 'aws_instance' 'example' {
  ami           = 'ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0'
  instance_type = 't2.micro'
}

resource 'google_dns_record_set' 'a' {
  name         = 'demo.google-example.com'
  managed_zone = 'example-zone'
  type         = 'A'
  ttl          = 300
  rrdatas      = [aws_instance.example.public_ip]
}

Terraform Comparsions

  1. Lots of IAC providers on the market a list is below
  2. Terraform, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, SaltStack, CloudFormation, and OpenStack Heat
  3. What makes Terrform special or the IAC of choose for a large enterprise
  4. What to look for: main trade-offs to consider:

    a. Configuration management versus provisioning

    b. Mutable infrastructure versus immutable infrastructure

    c. Procedural language versus declarative language

    d. Master versus masterles

    e. Agent versus agentless

    f. Large community versus small community

    g. Mature versus cutting-edge

    h. Using multiple tools together

Blockquotes

Blockquotes can also be nested...

...by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other...

...or with spaces between arrows.

Lists

Unordered

  • Create a list by starting a line with +, -, or *
  • Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
    • Marker character change forces new list start:
    • Ac tristique libero volutpat at
    • Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
    • Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
  • Very easy!

Ordered

  1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
  2. Consectetur adipiscing elit
  3. Integer molestie lorem at massa

  4. You can use sequential numbers...

  5. ...or keep all the numbers as 1.

Start numbering with offset:

  1. foo
  2. bar

Code

Inline code

Indented code

// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code

Block code "fences"

Sample text here...

  return bar++;
};

console.log(foo(5));
