Terraform explained for Beginners | Terraform Tutorial for Beginners | Terraform Architecture explained
Understand what Terraform is, its use cases, how it works and how it's different from Ansible 💡
Terraform is a tool for infrastructure provisioning to build out infrastructure through code, often called Infrastructure as Code. So, Terraform allows you to automate and manage your infrastructure, your platform and your services that run on that platform. It's open source and declarative, which means you define WHAT you want (the desired "end state") rather then describing exactly each step or HOW to do it.
In this tutorial you will learn what Terraform exactly is, Terraforms use cases or what it's used for, Terraforms Architecture and the basic commands. In addition I also clarify the question of what the difference of Terraform and Ansible is, because they seem to do the same thing.
Furthermore I also go one step deeper and explain what the terms and concepts of "infrastructure provisioning", "infrastructure as code" or "declarative vs imperative" mean. 💡
So, with this Terraform Tutorial you get a really good overview of what Terraform is, how Terraform works, how it does its job to get started quickly. 🙌🏼
