PowerShell+ 2029 - Demystifying Terraform - “Hardcore“ to Core Infrastructure... Tool by Chris Hunt

Demystifying Terraform - “Hardcore“ to Core Infrastructure-as-Code Tool by Chris Hunt To many, Terraform is a magical black box. I’m going to give a 35-minute introduction to practical Terraform usage based on experience building Cloud Infrastructure for Ticketmaster and Stack Overflow. This session will be demo heavy and take the audience from thinking Terraform is only for “hardcore“ engineers to believing it could be a core tool for managing infrastructure in their own environments. You don’t have to support a Top 100 website or even use Public Cloud for Terraform to be a valuable tool in your inventory. I’ll cover the language, the tool, the ecosystem, and as many anecdotes of personal failure that I can pack into 35 minutes. PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a “best effort“ basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations’ information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
