6. Agenda Introducing Terraform Infrastructure as Code Managing Auth0 with Terraform hands-on with Auth0 and Terraform Community Development working in open source
7. Infrastructure as Code ▪ executable documentation ▪ enables collaboration ▪ safe and predictable
8. Introducing Terraform
9. Terraform 125+ Official Providers AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. 175+ Community Providers Auth0, Sentry, Unifi, etc.
10. Auth0 and Terraform
11. Provider set-up CODE EDITOR provider "auth0" { version = "~> 0.11" domain = var.auth0_domain client_id = var.auth0_client_id client_secret = var.auth0_client_secret }
12. TERMINAL > terraform init Initializing the backend... Initializing provider plugins... - Checking for available provider plugins... - Downloading plugin for provider "auth0" (terraform-providers/auth0) 0.11.0... Terraform has been successfully initialized! You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands should now work. If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform, rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
13. Resource: Auth0 API CODE EDITOR resource "auth0_resource_server" "blog" { name = "Blog Post API" identifier = "https://api.blog.com" scopes { value = "write:posts" description = "Write posts" } }
14. Resource: Auth0 Role CODE EDITOR resource "auth0_role" "writer" { name = "Writer" identifier = "Blog post writer" permissions { name = "write:post" resource_server_identifier = \ auth0_resource_server.blog.identifier } }
15. Resource: Auth0 User CODE EDITOR resource "auth0_user" "jane_doe" { connection_name = "Username-Password-Authentication" email = "jane.doe@blog.com" username = "jane" password = "I writez the blogz!" roles = [auth0_role.writer.id] }
16. Command: terraform apply TERMINAL > terraform apply auth0_resource_server.blog: Creating... auth0_resource_server.blog: Creation complete after 0s auth0_role.writer: Creating... auth0_role.writer: Creation complete after 0s auth0_user.jane_doe: Creating... auth0_user.jane_doe: Creation complete after 1s Apply complete!
