IaC with Terraform and GitHub Actions
Understand how to integrate Terraform into your GitHub Actions workflows to provision and manage infrastructure.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Welcome! In this lesson, we'll dive into Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This approach means managing and provisioning your infrastructure (like servers, databases, and networks) using code instead of manual processes.
Think of it as writing software for your infrastructure. This brings many benefits, including consistency, repeatability, and version control for your entire setup.
Meet Terraform for IaC
One of the most popular tools for IaC is Terraform, an open-source tool developed by HashiCorp.
Terraform allows you to define your infrastructure resources in human-readable configuration files. It then uses these files to provision and manage resources across various cloud providers (like AWS, Azure, GCP) and other services.
