Book Description

HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) has changed how we define and provision data center infrastructure with the launch of Terraform, a top-tier product for building Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Terraform Cookbook shows you how to leverage Terraform to manage complex infrastructure with ease.

This new edition has been up to date to include real-world examples for provisioning Azure, AWS and GCP infrastructure with Terraform. You can delve into manual and automated testing with Terraform configurations, creating and managing a balanced, efficient, and reusable infrastructure with Terraform modules. You can learn to automate the deployment of Terraform configuration with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
Besides that, several new chapters have been added that describe using Terraform for Docker and Kubernetes, examine advanced topics on GitOps practices, and give an explanation for how to test Terraform configurations The usage of different tools to check code and security compliance. The final chapter covers troubleshooting common Terraform issues and provides solutions for incessantly encountered errors.

By the end of this book, You can have developed the skills needed to get the most value out of Terraform and to effectively manage your infrastructure.

What you’re going to learn

• Use Terraform to build and run cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure The usage of IaC best practices
• Adapt the Terraform command line adapted to appropriate use cases
