In this workshop, we’ll learn how to automate building of cloud infrastructure. We’ll see how previously point-and-click infrastructure deployments can be specified declaratively in source-controlled files, and have their lifecycle managed by the leading cloud-native tool: Terraform. We’ll go from nothing to two servers in two clouds, and managed DNS too. Note that this workshop is about deploying IaaS resources, rather than services or Kubernetes.
