Automated Infrastructure
Terraform
Modern Infrastructure as Code
With Terraform from HashiCorp, you can create, modify and improve infrastructures securely and comprehensibly.
Terraform abstracts the APIs of different manufactures with so-called providers. This way, the configuration of your infrastructure can be documented audit-proof and shared and edited by all team members.
Transparent. Automated. Safe.
Features
Reproducible infrastructure at any time
Terraform allows users to develop their configuration in a simple syntax and then roll it out in different environments.
In doing so, it creates an execution plan that determines all changes before the actual start and thus simplifies the verification of the own configuration.
Write
Of course, the simple syntax of Terraform can also be created and edited automatically.
Plan
Of course, this also applies to different environments such as development, staging and production.
Create
Different providers for eg OpenStack, AWS or Icinga can be described in one configuration and used at the same time.
Examples
Creation of resources with Terraform
The required attributes depend on the respective provider.
# Configure the OpenStack Provider
provider "openstack" {
user_name = "admin"
tenant_name = "admin"
password = "pwd"
auth_url = "http://cloud.netways.de:5000/v3"
region = "RegionOne"
}
Various providers can be used at will. Terraform take care of the rest.
# Create a web server
resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "test-server" {
count = "2"
image_name = "CentOS7"
availability_zone = "AZ1"
flavor_id = "5"
security_groups = ["default"]
network {
name = "public"
}
user_data = "${file("bootstrapweb.sh")}"
}
Why wait and not try it right away?
