About this title

Synopsis

This is the second edition of the Terraform for Developers book, presenting a thoroughly practical approach to using IaC for robust deployment and maintenance. This latest release is the most updated edition on Terraform, with the latest capabilities, patterns, and hands-on applications. Each chapter breaks down complex ideas into easy-to-follow steps, showing how to deal with the real challenges that come up in modern cloud deployments.

You'll start by learning the basics, like providers, variables, and states. It also highlights some really cool modules, showing how to create, reuse, and share them across projects. Later on, it covers secrets management, showing how to store and handle sensitive data safely. It also covers advanced networking and multi-cloud usage, hurdles in bridging subnets, load balancers, and container orchestration frameworks. It also covers troubleshooting across the syntax, logic, and runtime issues that might occur. And it shows how to incorporate testing, from unit checks on modules to integration scenarios for multi-service environments.

The final chapters cover advanced topics such as customizing workflows with CI/CD pipelines and using test environments. This book won't turn you into a Terraform master overnight, but it will show you all the practical features, patterns, and tricks to improve your infrastructure management.
