Fundamentals of Terraform-Based Infrastructure as CodeTerraform-Based IaC Overview
What is Terraform? Why would I use it? How does it work?
Keyhole Software Principal Consultant Jaime Niswonger answers those questions in this Introduction to Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code video. Terraform is a declarative and workflow-driven approach to Infrastructure as code, and there are numerous benefits associated with use.
Jaime explores how Terraform can benefit a project, from consistent and repeatable results to codifying cloud APIs into declarative configurations and beyond. He includes the workflow of Terraform automation, the structure of execution plans, and demonstrations of code and usage.
