1.TERRAFORMS word

Terraform, developed by HashiCorp, is an open-source tool for automating infrastructure provisioning using a declarative approach, allowing users to create and manage resources across multiple cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It offers advantages such as speed, consistency, scalability, and ease of use compared to other Infrastructure as Code (IAC) tools. Terraform commands include 'init', 'validate', 'plan', 'apply', and 'destroy', enabling users to manage their infrastructure efficiently.

TERRAFORMS

IAC--> Infrastructure as a code

automate your infrastructure provisioning you can use


terraform

CF -- aws
ARM --> azure

Create by hashicorp

Using this terraform u can automate infrastructure creation using


aws/azure/gcp

terraform is generic

IAC has 2 approaches

imperative: Like if u want to create instance or do any


changes to existing instance whatever might be u create
custom file in that custom file u will use step by step
procedure or sequential procedure

here order matter lot

create vp,subnet,route table

ex: aws CLI and bash scripts

declarative: there will be config file whatever resources you want


you can create it.

create servers, vpc everything mention in this config file and not in
order any order it can create infrastructre for you

ex: terraform, cloud formation

Terraform uses declarative approach which is using developing or


modifying the infrastructure very safely

Developed in 2014 but gained popularity from 2018

Terrform written in Golang + HCL (hashicorp language)

Othertools developed by hashicorp are vault, consul


terrform is like open source

It has 2 editions

enterprise free and enterprise paid edition

why we want to use terraform u can use cloud formation? Reason to use
terraform is:

1. Speed

you can create infrastructire very fast compared to CF/ARM/DM

2. Consistency:
when u are trying to create infrastructure manually
if u are creating VPC and while creating u need to mention ur CIDR
block if not it will not allow

same way in terraform when u are trying to create


it will give some error and after certain validation only it will
create

3. Scalability: using same config file u can create infra for


test env/uat env/dev env/prod env
by doing some minor tweaks

4. Different IAC tools:


Terraform can be used with different IAC tools

we can integrate with ansible and other tools , what ever config files
u created can be used in CF/ARM template

5. Open source and proprietary

6. Reduce the Time

execution time is less the number of lines of code is very less

approximately 2 mins execution time

7. Simple language to understand: terraform is written in GOlang and


Hashicorp
json u need to keenly write in to syntax if u miss some,or
paranthesis it takes some time to debug

Terrform is very easy to write which we will see soon


say u want to create 4 servers, under resources in CF u need to create
different block for all i1,i2,i3,i4 but here u can use count parameter
it creates 4 instances if u give count=4

terraform.io

official site

install terraform on windows

go to windows amd64 one u can use

extract it

terraform executable file

go to c drive

create folder known as terraform

copy the executable to terraform folder

terraform --version

its not there

go to cmd

copy address

and u need to create env variable

Run

sysdm.cpl

it will open setings --> system properties--> advanced

click on path env variable


New

close the command prompt reopen it again

terraform --version

it got installed

u can do that even on linux machine also


open ec2 machine of ubuntu

search for installing terraform on ubuntu machine

copy the curl command

and other commands and paste it

In cmd

terraform

terraform init --> if ur config files written in aws it will donwload


all the related plugins of aws via internet , it will initialize the
environment

provider "aws" {
region="us-east-2"

validate--> It check for syntax errors when ur writeconfig file

plan --> Kind of blueprint, what ever u want to create using config
file this command shows ypu what ever it will nbe created

apply --> creates ur infrastructure

fmt --> reformat your configuration according to standards of


terraform

say you written access key or security key without any alignment
it will format and put in order

graph --> whatever steps u mentioned in config to create it will try


to show in graohical format

show --> it will show the current state of ur saved plan

These are frequently used commands, though we have many I showed u


only frequently used commands

output --> To printv a output

workdspace/environment both are same

which workspace u want to create

like dev/uat/test/prod
by default we have default work space

terraform workspace list

terraform workspace new dev

terraform workspace select default

import --> ifu created any service manually u can import into
terraform using import command

Create one ec2 instance

also create one iam user or any other user security key and access key

provider "aws" {
region="us-east-2"
access_key=""
secret_key=""
}

we have vast documentatuion in google

just browse in google

create ec2 instance in aws using teraform

create newFolder

save the file as test.tf

navigate to that path in cmd

terraform init

terraform validate

terraform plan

terraform apply

terraform destroy

.state file has in json format


all script u created in terraform will be in json format

how to create VPC in aws using terraform

registry.terraform.io official site

copy and paste and edit as per your requirement

use the synopsis and create all vpc requirement
