Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
Creating your infrastructure by hand is just plain wrong, you shouldn't do it. Manual deployments don't allow for repeatability, they encourage tribal knowledge, and they aren't documented. These are a few of the many reasons Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and other DevOps principles are popular. The nice part is the cloud providers recognize this and provide their own version of IaC. They work great, but they aren't perfect either. Terraform provides an abstraction on top of the cloud providers and a better experience. This talk will focus on Terraform basics and some examples.
