An in-depth guide to everything Terraform, complete with newly established best practices and experienced insights into Infrastructure as Code.
Terraform and its open-source fork OpenTofu’s “Infrastructure as Code (IaC)” approach has redefined the way you manage your infrastructure. Its premise is simple-yet-awesome: provision, update, scale, and replicate your infrastructure with the same ease as your application code. In Terraform in Depth, you’ll discover absolutely everything you need to automate and manage your infrastructure with just a few lines of code.
Inside Terraform in Depth, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand and write basic Terraform code
• Avoid vendor lock-in with the open source OpenTofu
• Switch between OpenTofu and Terraform as needed
• Construct continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for Terraform
• Organize Terraform projects and modules for team-based, production use
• Develop and test robust Terraform modules
• Create custom Terraform providers
Terraform in Depth is fully up to date with the latest versions, standards, and approaches of Terraform and OpenTofu. Complete and comprehensive, its one-stop approach covers everything from Terraform and OpenTofu’s absolute basics all the way to advanced production uses. Every technique is illustrated with the kind of real-world examples infrastructure engineers encounter every day.
