Terraform in Action

Use Terraform to programmatically create, test, and manage infrastructure using the efficient infrastructure-as-code approach.SummaryIn Terraform in Action you will learn:Cloud architecture with TerraformTerraform module sharing and the private module registryTerraform security in a multitenant environmentStrategies for performing blue/green deploymentsRefactoring for code maintenance and reusabilityRunning Terraform at scaleCreating your own Terraform providerUsing Terraform as a continuous development/continuous delivery platformTerraform in Action introduces the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) model that lets you instantaneously create new components and respond efficiently to changes in demand. You’ll use the Terraform automation tool to design and manage servers that can be provisioned, shared, changed, tested, and deployed with a single command.About the technologyProvision, deploy, scale, and clone your entire stack to the cloud at the touch of a button. In Terraform, you create a collection of simple declarative scripts that define and manage application infrastructure. This powerful infrastructure-as-code approach automates key tasks like versioning and testing for everything from low-level networking to cloud services.About the bookTerraform in Action shows you how to automate and scale infrastructure programmatically using the Terraform toolkit. Using practical, relevant examples, you’ll use Terraform to provision a Kubernetes cluster, deploy a multiplayer game, and configure other hands-on projects. As you progress to advanced techniques like zero-downtime deployments, you’ll discover how to think in Terraform rather than just copying and pasting scripts.What's insideCloud architecture with TerraformTerraform module sharing and the private module registryTerraform security in a multitenant environmentStrategies for performing blue/green deploymentsAbout the readerFor readers experienced with a major cloud platform such as AWS.
