Terraform
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform
Modern Infrastructure as Code
With Terraform by HashiCorp you can create, change and improve infrastructure in a safe and traceable way.
Terraform abstracts the APIs of different providers with so-called providers. In this way, the configuration of your infrastructure can be documented in an audit-proof manner and shared and edited by all team members.
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
The declarative description of resources and their storage also allows larger teams to work together on an environment and ensure an audit-proof state.
Terraform’s simple syntax can of course also be created and edited automatically.
Plan
Even before executing the desired configuration, the planned changes can be analyzed in detail. This way you won’t experience any nasty surprises later and you can fix errors immediately.
Of course, this also applies to different environments such as development, staging and production.
Create
Terraform ensures that all resources and dependencies described are resolved and created or removed in the correct order.
Different providers for e.g. OpenStack, AWS or Icinga can be described in one configuration and used at the same time.
Examples
Resource creation 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")}"
}
