Class 18 - Terraform with AWS: How to Automate Infrastructure Management for Scalable, Secure, and Cost-Effective Solutions
Covered how to automate cloud infrastructure with Terraform and best practices for managing infrastructure with immutable and mutable infrastructure concepts.
Ready to dive into Terraform Automation? In Class 18, we covered how to automate cloud infrastructure with Terraform and best practices for managing infrastructure with immutable and mutable infrastructure concepts. 🌐
🔧 What was covered:
🔹 Understanding Terraform:
What is Terraform? Terraform is a tool that allows you to manage and provision cloud infrastructure using code. It creates resources like servers, databases, and networking components in a fast, automated way.
🔹 Why Terraform?:
Terraform vs. Ansible: Terraform focuses on provisioning infrastructure (like building a house), while Ansible focuses on managing and configuring infrastructure (like decorating the house after it’s built).
🔹 Immutable vs Mutable Infrastructure:
Mutable: Infrastructure that can be modified after creation.
Immutable: Infrastructure that is replaced with new versions if changes are needed (creating new servers instead of modifying existing ones).
🔹 Terraform Hands-On Lab:
Setting Up Terraform: How to install and set up Terraform and work with the AWS CLI.
Creating Infrastructure: Learn how to create an Elastic IP, Security Group, VPC, EC2 instance, and even configure a web server during EC2 instance creation.
VPC with Public and Private Subnets: Master creating and managing networking components using Terraform.
🔹 Managing Infrastructure Using Terraform:
We created resources in AWS including networking components, EC2 instances, and more. You will get hands-on experience with all these Terraform modules.
🌱 What You Will Learn:
How to set up Terraform and use it for creating cloud resources.
Immutable vs Mutable Infrastructure concepts and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
Terraform automation for creating VPCs, EC2 instances, and managing security groups.
🎯 Why is this important?
Terraform automates cloud infrastructure, making it easier and faster to create, update, and manage resources in cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
⚙️ Key Takeaways:
Hands-on lab experience setting up and configuring Terraform for AWS.
Learn to automate the creation of VPCs, EC2 Instances, and more.
Best practices for managing infrastructure with immutable and mutable configurations.
🎉 Why Terraform for DevOps? Terraform makes infrastructure automation seamless by enabling easy version control, collaboration, and consistency in infrastructure management. It's a perfect match for cloud infrastructure automation and DevOps best practices.
