Terraform Cookbook

Cloud services and SaaS software permeate every company's IT landscape, requiring a shift from manually provisioned services to a more structured approach, with codification at its core. Terraform provides tools to manage the lifecycle of your IT landscape across thousands of different cloud providers and SaaS platforms. By defining your infrastructure as code you can safely and predictably make changes, modularize crucial building blocks, and create reusable service components. Each recipe in this cookbook addresses a specific problem and prefaces the solution with detailed insights into the "how" and "why". If you're just starting with Terraform and codified infrastructure, this book will help you create a solid foundation, on which you can build for years to come. If you're an advanced user, this guide will help you reaffirm your knowledge and take it to the next level, as you challenge yourself with more complex infrastructure, spread across multiple providers. Recipes include: Strategies on how to use Terraform with Version Control Systems Validation and testing patterns for Terraform-managed infrastructure Methods for importing pre-existing resources Transforming infrastructure services into reusable components Integrating Terraform with other HashiCorp tools Deploying Containerized Workloads
