Learn how to manage your infrastructure as code using tools such as ad hoc scripts (e.g., Bash, Ruby), configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet), server templating tools (e.g., Packer, Docker), and provisioning tools (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi).

Terraform has emerged as a key player in the DevOps world for defining, launching, and managing infrastructure as code (IAC) across a variety of cloud and virtualization platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. This hands-on book is the fastest way to get up and running with Terraform. Gruntwork co-founder Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman walks you through dozens of code examples that demonstrate how to use Terraform’s simple, declarative programming language to deploy and manage infrastructure with just a few commands. Whether you’re a novice developer, aspiring DevOps engineer, or veteran sysadmin, this book will take you from Terraform basics to running a full tech stack capable of supporting a massive amount of traffic and a large team of developers.

Just five years ago, infrastructure as code was a new concept for many companies. Today, even banks, governments, and other highly regulated organizations are moving to the cloud, leading teams everywhere to build up large, complex infrastructure codebases. With this practical book, Kief Morris of ThoughtWorks shows you how to effectively use principles, practices, and patterns pioneered by infrastructure and development teams to manage cloud age infrastructure. Ideal for system administrators, infrastructure engineers, software developers, team leads, and architects, this insightful second edition demonstrates the tools you need for implementing infrastructure as code. You'll learn about the platforms and tooling involved in creating and configuring infrastructure elements, patterns for using these tools, and practices for making infrastructure as code work in your environment.

Listen up, developers. You are not special. Your infrastructure is not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You have the same tech debt as everyone else. So why are you reinventing the wheel? Why are you building the same infrastructure, from scratch, over and over again?.

This October, I gave a talk at HashiConf 2018 where I shared 5 key lessons we learned at Gruntwork while creating and maintaining a library of over 300,000 lines of infrastructure code that’s used in production by hundreds of companies. In this blog post, I’ll share with you the video and slides from the talk, as well as a condensed, written version of the 5 key lessons.

Yevgeniy Brikman, author of Terraform: Up & Running and co-founder of Gruntwork talks with host Robert Blumen about how to apply best practices from software engineering to the development of infrastructure as code, primarily with Terraform. The discussion covers similarities and differences between conventional software engineering and code-driven infrastructure; factoring code into modules; layering; terraform code organization for micro-services; releases and tagging; code reviews; unit testing infrastructure; deployment of infrastructure; ownership and code structure models; and open source and re-usable libraries.
