Book Description

By finelybook

Advancements made in cloud technology and automation tools have led to increased challenges in defining and managing your infrastructure or app environment as code on your chosen cloud platform, integrating security, managing microservices complexity, and so on. This book takes a learning-by-doing approach to teach you how to employ Terraform features to develop efficient cloud infrastructure using real-world scenarios and best practices.

The book begins by introducing you to Terraform’s architecture, both as a command-line tool and a programming language, HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). You’ll discover best practices, usage, and architectural patterns and implement Terraform on virtual machines (VMs), Docker/Kubernetes, Serverless, and multiple cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. The chapters also show you how to industrialize your CI/CD pipeline by integrating Terraform with other popular technologies to build, provision, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure. You’ll gain a clear understanding of security, monitoring, troubleshooting, and cost optimization and be able to apply the concepts you’ve learned when preparing for Terraform Associate certification exams.

By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to confidently build, automate, and deliver your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in cloud-based applications.

What you will learn

• Explore Terraform architecture and configurations in depth
• Integrate Packer with Terraform for VM-based solutions
• Containerize apps with Docker and Kubernetes
• Explore GitOps and CI/CD deployment patterns
• Transform existing applications into serverless architectures
• Migrate and modernize legacy apps for the cloud
• Implement Terraform on AWS, Azure, and GCP
• Use Terraform with teams of varying size and responsibility

Who this book is for

This book is for Devops engineers, cloud engineers, platform engineers, infrastructure engineers, site reliability engineers, developers, and cloud architects who want to utilize Terraform to automate their cloud infrastructures and streamline software delivery. Prior knowledge of cloud architecture, infrastructure, and platforms, as well as Terraform basics, will help you understand the topics present in this book.
