- 7. Agenda Terraform 0.12 Manage any AWS resources with Terraform Manage GitHub resources with Terragrunt modules.tf @antonbabenko
- 8. Write, plan and manage infrastructure as code www.terraform.io @antonbabenko
- 9. Configuration Management Tools Google Cloud Deployment Manager Azure Resource Manager @antonbabenko
- 11. Why Terraform and not AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM, Google Cloud Deployment Manager? @antonbabenko Terraform supports 250+ providers, has easier syntax (HCL), has native support for modules and remote states, has teamwork related features, is an open-source project Provides a high-level abstraction of infrastructure, unifies the view of resources Supports the modern datacenter (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) Separates planning from execution (dry-run) Provides a workflow which is technology agnostic Manages anything with an API

- 14. Terraform 0.12 What does it mean for us? @antonbabenko
- 17. Terraform 0.12 HCL2 — simplified syntax Loops ("for") Dynamic blocks ("for_each") Correct conditional operators (… ? … : …) Extended types of variables Templates in values Links between resources are supported (depends_on everywhere) Read more — https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/announcing-terraform-0-1-2-beta @antonbabenko
- 18. Who are you? Terraform users vs developers @antonbabenko
- 19. Terraform developers Create and maintain Terraform modules (curated modules) Happily using Terraform 0.12 💚 💚 💚 Implement company’s standards (security, encryption, naming, integrations, tagging) Maintain "reference architectures" inside of the company @antonbabenko
- 20. Terraform users (all of us) Use Terraform modules by setting correct values Terraform 0.12 + HCL2 = 💚 Domain experts in certain areas (e.g. backend developers) May not have "Terraform" skills in profile on LinkedIn @antonbabenko

- 22. Available types of AWS resources Supported by Terraform AWS provider Supported only by AWS CloudFormation, but not by Terraform AWS provider Supported by AWS SDK/CLI and not in AWS CloudFormation Partially supported by Terraform AWS provider (some arguments are not supported) Not supported in AWS CLI/SDK @antonbabenko
- 23. Available solutions to manage AWS resources using Terraform Use Terraform natively Patch the Terraform AWS provider using Golang Use local-exec provisioner with aws-cli Use shell provider - https://github.com/scottwinkler/terraform- provider-shell @antonbabenko
