Have you recently admired AWS cloud platform capabilities? Are you appealed by the pay-as-you-use pricing model? Are you looking forward to hosting your products and services on AWS? Then you should also be prepared to spend hours figuring out why you are paying that penny!
Today AWS offers 200+ Managed…
Cloud providers like AWS have already made lives easy by taking all your infrastructure-related worries away. This comes at a cost, but it is still very cost-efficient. Moreover, talking about costs — just doesn’t stop here. As they say, there is always scope for improvement. …
The title of the post could also be read as — “Why don’t you want to save money?”. Well there it is, the answer to the question, you may not even read further. However, if you are interested to know certain aspects of AWS Cloud Cost Optimization then this post…
Note: I am doing this blog post in collaboration with Infracode. These guys are super-cool and are working on some amazing products in IaC realm.
Meta-arguments are special constructs provided for resources. In InfraCode’s blog, “An Introduction to Terraform Templates,” they explain that the resource blocks are where we declare…
In this series, we have been using Terraform by ourselves. We defined the infrastructure — created a plan, created the infrastructure itself and also we saved our code to Github. We had the choice to store and maintain states locally.
However, using Terraform in a team where more than one…
Okay, enough talking about creating cloud resources! We have created a couple of instances using our Terraform code. But, now what? We usually spin up cloud resources for some purpose. When the resources are successfully created, it is rather a start of something.
Cloud resources by themselves are not much…
In this post, we discuss backends that can be used with Terraform. Working with backends is essential when a larger team works on developing Terraform code. …
Data Sources in Terraform is one of the important concepts which enables you to work with data values sourced from somewhere else. Somewhere else here would mean other modules, or cloud providers, or even locally.
There are situations where the Terraform code needs to query a “fresh” set of values…
Modules are a way to organize Terraform code into re-usable chunks of IaC. Managing code for the complex infrastructure stack in a single go is not a good idea. …
This is one of the fundamental concepts while learning to work with Terraform. We will make use of this commit for the example we have been using in this Terraform series. Feel free to clone the repo and follow along.
As we know till now, Terraform helps us manage cloud…
