Today, we’ll explore how Terraform simplifies cloud infrastructure management across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Unlike AWS CloudFormation and Azure ARM templates, which use JSON or YAML configurations, Terraform allows a platform-independent approach, enabling you to manage resources seamlessly.
We’ll discuss essential concepts like resources, state files, and data sources. You’ll learn how to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Internet Gateway, and various other resources effectively. Join me as we dive into real-world examples and best practices to streamline your infrastructure management with Terraform.
Let’s get started with our Terraform code!
