Infrastructure as Code @ phpCE 2017

Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve production infrastructure. It is an open source tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned. Terraform has emerged as a key player in the DevOps world for defining, launching, and managing infrastructure as code (IAC) across a variety of cloud and virtualization platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. In this talk I'll show you how to get up and running with Terraform using IaaS (e.g. AWS, DigitalOcean) or SaaS providers (e.g. CloudFlare, GitHub).

27. How do I provision resources?
28. How do I manage resource lifecycles?
29. How do I balance service providers providing core technology for my datacenter?
30. How do I enforce policy across all these resources?
31. How do I automate and share those configurations?
33. TERRAFORM'S GOAL Provide a single workflow…
34. TERRAFORM'S GOAL …with a unified view…
35. TERRAFORM'S GOAL …using Infrastructure as Code…
36. TERRAFORM'S GOAL …that can be iterated
 and changed safely…
37. TERRAFORM'S GOAL …capable of complex
 N-tier applications.
