21. Uses HCL as language Terraform / What
22. Golang OS Project Terraform / What
23. Golang OS Project Terraform / What
24. Translates HCL templates into API calls Terraform / How

27. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = ["ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" }
28. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" }
29. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" }
30. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" }
31. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" }

Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" } resource "aws_eip" "example_eip" { instance = "${aws_instance.example.id}" }
34. Terraform / Syntax data "aws_ami" "ubuntu" { most_recent = true filter { name = "name" values = [“ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-*"] } } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "t2.micro" } resource "aws_eip" "example_eip" { instance = "${aws_instance.example.id}" } // IP of the Bastion EC2 instance output "ip" { value = "${aws_eip.example_eip.public_ip}" }
35. Terraform / Syntax ... variable "instance_type" { description = "EC2 instance type" default = "t2.nano" } resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "${data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id}" instance_type = "${var.instance_type}" } ...
36. Terraform / Syntax / Modules # Create instances module "t2nano" { source = "./aws_instance" instance_type = "t2.nano" } module "t2micro" { source = "./aws_instance" instance_type = "t2.micro" } # Output variables output "t2microip" { value = "${module.t2micro.ip}" } output "t2small" { value = "${module.t2small.ip}" }
37. Keep one .tfstate per environment Terraform / Tips
38. Use a remote store for your .tfstate file Terraform / Tips
39. Store your terraform.tfvars in your remote* Terraform / Tips * this is how we do it, and works for us
