What is infrastructure as code? // Terraform Tutorial

Let's talk about Infrastructure as code with Terraform. What is it? And why do we need that in IT? I also show you how to get easily started with Terraform and use it to deploy Docker Infrastructure. But I also show you a Cloud Deployment and how to use Terraform within your projects. #Terraform #Infrastructureascode #CloudComputing

Great video. I have been using TF for a few months in a large environment and this was perfect!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks that honors me!

[@YugimanTeam]

Terraform is SO AWESOME took a course not to long ago and its F***ing Brilliant!!! and so helpful. Especially if you use Modules!

[@christianlempa]

^Thank you ;)

[@heyredux]

Very detailed explanation, thank you very much.
I started using Terraform and Ansible two days ago to learn about Infrastructure as Code.
Your video comes in very handy.

[@christianlempa]

Cool! Thank you ;)

[@cybersecurehacks]

This dude reads brain man. Awesome tutorial again.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks 😁

[@chrisumali9841]

thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

[@christianlempa]

Thanks, you too!

[@180doman]

I would only add that nowadays Cloudflare encourages to use api_token instead of api_key. Also in civo provider its good to use region - It took me a short moment to figure out why i dont see created server in civo dashboard - it was placed in NYC1 zone by default which i dont use:). A word of explanation of how terraform interprets many files would also be usefull. Just my 2 cents as feedback. Anyway, this tutorial and setup is simplest i could find in internet. Thank you!

[@foobar108]

Great explanation 🎉 Thanks a lot

[@christianlempa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jnelly3426]

This is a good video. Great explanation

[@christianlempa]

Thank you :)

[@loserguy777]

Great video, which theme are you using?

[@PetritK10]

Nice bro :D, i love Terraform,

[@onemanops]

very well done
thx

[@christianlempa]

Thx!

[@TempestofTime]

Awesome tutorial. It's nice that TF is finally in 1.x version, using 0.x versions on production felt kinda.. off, even though it worked fine.
One comment regarding the video: That "buzzing" while showing "chapter name" was kinda annoying :/

[@christianlempa]

Thanks ❤ awesome feedback!

[@bthegawd8113]

I use terraform daily for my job. It’s amazing and easy to track all the resources created for our cloud workloads.

[@christianlempa]

Very cool!

[@marcbria6086]

Big fan of your work. Thanks!
I have a stupid doubt about terminology... as terraform is for infrastructure would be more a SysOp tool than a DevOps?

[@christianlempa]

Thank you mate! Terraform is a tool you can use in many different ways, it should be part of SysOp and DevOps toolset.

[@klemol5682]

Thank you for this video. Can you perhaps share which shell are you using in this video and its config file ? I really like type-ahead prediction (like at 9:18)

[@christianlempa]

Cheers! I recently did a video about my terminal, it has changed a lot though :D

[@kenmurphy4259]

Love Terraform…

[@tonynekola8241]

The shell looks awesome , what shell do you use ?

[@christianlempa]

I'm using Windows Terminal and Powershell or WSL2 ZFS and Starship prompt

[@Flako-dd]

From a Homelab perspective I prefer ansible + docker I don't really have servers standing around like cattle. All my servers are trash to treasure snowflakes :)
Enterprise use cases are of course a different thing.
At any rate, great video!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks mate! Yeah I think for Homelab Ansible makes more sense

[@ronnysimonsen]

In a way Terraform make me think about IBM Openshift. How about making a tutorial about Terraform with VMWare? Maybe you already did?

[@christianlempa]

Nah not yet, I'm not using VMWare so that would be a bit difficult for me to make

[@KaydotOrigin]

Can this automate docker-compose files? This is amazing

[@christianlempa]

I don't think so, as docker-compose is another container management tool. Maybe there is a way but I haven't found it yet.

[@bthegawd8113]

Terraform does not manage docker compose let alone docker itself. You can create eks, ecs resource in aws for example but thats about it.

[@Samuel.Mwangi]

If used in combination, yes you can use ansible to orchestrate anything including docker but the fact you can doesn't make it the best way to do it.

[@Technik500]

how do i give you money?

[@christianlempa]

Best is to support me on Patreon :)

[@chswin]

What it is, is the world telling the non-programmer IT switch and knob tinkerers that it is time to learn how to code.

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

OUCH 😣 that transition sound on the chapters or when a title appears is so annoying and makes that video so hard to hear. Especially if you want to focus and learn something from it. Hope there will be a new version someday where that sound is not present

[@m.mukunthan5536]

Hi bro
