Various platforms are available to implement CI/CD automation for the Terraform IaC workflows. In this post, we will explore and implement a CI/CD pipeline for Terraform using GitLab. GitLab is a tool that provides remote git repositories and integrated CI/CD automation capabilities.

In this post, we dive deep into the lookup function and see its usage and applicability while writing IaC.

In this post, we will explore multiple ways of managing the secrets with Terraform code.

In this post, we discuss how variables are used in Terraform. Terraform uses HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language) to encode infrastructure. It is declarative in nature, meaning several blocks of code are declared to create a desired set of infrastructure.

In this post, we discuss how to develop a basic AWS VPC using Terraform.

In this tutorial, you will learn ways to import pre-existing cloud resources before you continue to develop the IaC in Terraform. This guide will provide you with an IaC import scenario which is often faced by teams starting to adopt Terraform for their operations.

In this post, we take a look at some of the most useful DevOps tools that define the state of today’s software CI/CD automation:

In this post, we will delve into using AWS S3 buckets as the remote backend for Terraform and explore the best practices around it. There are multiple options available as far as the remote backend for Terraform configuration is concerned. Each remote backend provides an array of features to manage these state files very efficiently. However, the core purpose remains the same.

In this post, we will learn how to manage Terraform deployments and workflows using Jenkins. We will also implement a Jenkins pipeline to trigger Terraform deployments and destroy the same. This post also covers some of Jenkins’s most useful customization options to manage the Terraform workflow.

AWS has excellent service capabilities to enable high scalability among infrastructure components and cloud-hosted applications. We will explore the tools and features provided by Amazon that are perfect for scaling existing AWS infrastructure.

In this post, we’ll go over how to create Terraform EC2 instances into a VPC, and how to make them highly available by creating Terraform AWS load balancers.

In this post, we explore how the CLI commands – taint, untaint, and replace – help address these issues along with what is the right way to approach them with the help of an example.

In this post, we go through the basics of Terraform Templates and discuss probable use cases and examples. In short, if the applications hosted on your infrastructure depend on certain configuration files – which are usually not part of the application repository – Terraform templates help manage those files in dynamic ways.

In this post, we discuss the same, in no particular order. We will not dive deep into Terraform, but it is assumed that the reader is already aware of its basics.

In this post, we will provision 3 types of storage on AWS using Terraform. The reference code to this blog can be found in this repo. This repository contains 3 subdirectories which contain separate code for S3, EBS, and RDS.

In this post, we explore cloud cost optimization strategies and best practices for cost-efficient utilization of cloud resources.https://spacelift.io/blog/aws-cost-optimization

In this post, we will explore how tfsec – an open-source tool by Aqua Security – helps in identifying security shortcomings beforehand. Tfsec is a static analysis tool that scans Terraform code, identifies, and highlights gaps from the security aspect from an infrastructure and IaC perspective.

In this tutorial, we will learn step-by-step how to use Terraform, enabling you to manage cloud infrastructure with IaC.

In this article, I'll highlight what I mean by optimizing your costs in AWS cloud architecture. Then I'll share how you can do it with respect to the AWS Well-Architected framework.

Terraform is a tool that helps you manage various cloud infrastructure services in the form of code. You codify your infrastructure, and so it's also known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

In this post, we will understand the scenarios handled by provisioners, how they are implemented, and what are the better ways to do it.

In this post, you will learn how to manage the destruction of cloud infrastructure resources that are under Terraform management (resources that are created using Terraform IaC) and how to overcome some common pitfalls.

This post highlights similarities between Terraform and Ansible, explores the differences and concludes with the best way to manage infrastructure.

In this post, we discuss various aspects of managing multiple environments using Terraform. Typically we define our infrastructure as code using Terraform. Then using the Terraform CLI, we create the specified infrastructure components in the cloud platforms of our choice.

Suppose you have provisioned infrastructure using code or configuration files. In that case, you may also know that the development experience for IaC is different from that of developing applications and middleware.

In this post, we will explore the reasons why drifts happen, understand the risks associated with them, and explore the options to remediate these drifts.

This post will dive deep into understanding the Terraform validate command.

Various aspects influence the way we manage our Terraform config in a repository. In this post, we will learn about them and discuss a few important strategies and best practices around structuring Terraform project files in an efficient and standardized way.

To help you learn the syntax, we'll go through an example and I'll teach you the most important parts of the Terraform configuration language (which is called HCL - the HashiCorp Configuration Language). Then we'll build out some infrastructure as code (IaC) to see it in action.

In this post, we will cover another interesting feature of Terraform – Workspaces. Workspaces enable us to manage multiple deployments of the same configuration. It is a very handy tool that lets us test configurations by giving us flexibility in resource allocation, regional deployments, multi-account deployments, and so on.

This blog aims to showcase some of the efficient ways to manage GitHub repositories with Terraform.

Terraform Registry is the one of the most important parts of any Terraform workflow. Simply put – without Terraform Registry, it is not possible to develop and use any configuration without accessing it.
