Terraform: Up & Running. Writing Infrastructure as Code
Terraform has become a cornerstone in the DevOps ecosystem, enabling teams to define, launch, and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) across major cloud and virtualization platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and more. This practical third edition, fully updated and expanded for Terraform 1.0 and later, guides you through the fastest path to becoming productive with Terraform.
Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman, cofounder of Gruntwork, walks you through clear, real-world code examples that showcase Terraform’s concise, declarative language for deploying and managing infrastructure with just a few commands.
Whether you’re a seasoned sysadmin, an experienced DevOps engineer, or a developer new to infrastructure, you’ll quickly progress from mastering the basics to running a full production stack capable of handling massive traffic and supporting large development teams.
You’ll learn how to:
- Compare Terraform with other tools like Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation, and Pulumi
- Deploy servers, load balancers, and databases
- Build reusable infrastructure with Terraform modules
- Test modules with static analysis, unit tests, and integration tests
- Set up CI/CD pipelines for both application and infrastructure code
- Use advanced Terraform features such as loops, conditionals, and zero-downtime deployments
- Work confidently with Terraform versions 0.13 through 1.0 and beyond
- Manage infrastructure across multiple clouds and providers, including Kubernetes
