Day 1: Introduction to Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

I think this is definitely the first time I get to do such but A couple of days ago I decided to join Chi Che in the 30 Days Terraform Challenge. I will be swift on this blog post, I won't go i details but I will consider it an update for all what I am working on.

Enough about the talking, let's explore our day one and discover the goodies the Terraform world offers us. We are on Day one (1), let's go >>>

Let's break it down

Today we are explored the foundations on IaC, Terraform and how it works or operate at the core.

1. Reading and Understand what Terraform is all about
   
   I started by reading Chapter 1 of Terraform: Up & Running by Yevgeniy Brikman. This book is an incredible resource for anyone looking to understand why Terraform has become a go-to tool for automating the deployment of infrastructure. Terraform allows developers to use configuration files to manage infrastructure, which can include anything from low-level components such as compute instances, networking, and storage, to high-level components such as DNS entries. Best thing to know is the integration it comes along with cutting across a variety of cloud providers.




2. Exploring Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
   
   We also had a coupon code reducing the price of a course on Terraform on Udemy by Bryan Krausen and Gabe Maentz on Udemy, I gained insights into the core concepts of Infrastructure as Code. The key takeaway is that IaC helps in managing infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. This not only boosts efficiency but also enhances consistency, and reproducibility across environments.




3. Blog Post and Social Media
   
   As you got it!!! Hehehe this blog post is part of the journey. You can look for me on Twitter or LinkedIn so we can argue!!!
