Terraform: Up and Running. 3rd Edition Tychy

Terraform has become a key player in the DevOps world for defining, launching, and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) across a variety of cloud and virtualization platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and more. This hands-on third edition, expanded and thoroughly updated for version 1.0 and beyond, shows you the fastest way to get up and running with Terraform.Gruntwork cofounder Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman takes you through code examples that demonstrate Terraform's simple, declarative programming language for deploying and managing infrastructure with a few commands. Veteran sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and novice developers will quickly go from Terraform basics to running a full stack that can support a massive amount of traffic and a large team of developers.Compare Terraform with Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation, and PulumiDeploy servers, load balancers, and databasesCreate reusable infrastructure with Terraform modulesTest your Terraform modules with static analysis, unit tests, and integration testsConfigure CI/CD pipelines for both your apps and infrastructure codeUse advanced Terraform syntax for loops, conditionals, and zero-downtime deploymentGet up to speed on Terraform 0.13 to 1.0 and beyondWork with multiple clouds and providers (including Kubernetes!)

Why Terraform What Is DevOps? What Is Infrastructure as Code? Ad Hoc Scripts Configuration Management Tools Server Templating Tools Orchestration Tools Provisioning Tools What Are the Benefits of Infrastructure as Code? How Does Terraform Work? How Does Terraform Compare to Other IaC Tools? Configuration Management Versus Provisioning Mutable Infrastructure Versus Immutable Infrastructure Procedural Language Versus Declarative Language General-Purpose Language Versus Domain-Specific Language Master Versus Masterless Agent Versus Agentless Paid Versus Free Offering Large Community Versus Small Community Mature Versus Cutting Edge Use of Multiple Tools Together Provisioning plus configuration management Provisioning plus server templating Provisioning plus server templating plus orchestration Conclusion 2.
