Leveraging Infrastructure as Code

In today’s digital landscape, managing and deploying infrastructure is a complex and time-consuming process. Traditionally, infrastructure deployment involves manually configuring each server, network, and storage device. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and inconsistencies. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions provide an automated way to manage and deploy infrastructure. IaC solutions allow developers to treat infrastructure as code, enabling them to define, manage, and provision infrastructure in the same way they do with code.

In this chapter, we will explore IaC solutions, with a focus on Terraform. Terraform is an open source IaC tool that enables developers to define, manage, and provision infrastructure across multiple cloud providers and on-premises data centers. HashiCorp, the owner of Terraform and many other automation tools, changed the license from Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 2.0 to...
