Introduction

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. In this project, we will explore the power of Terraform by deploying a secure and modern infrastructure stack.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of cloud computing concepts.

Getting Started

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to master Terraform and deploy a secure infrastructure:

Step 1: Clone GitHub repository with the project

git clone https://github.com/oleksiy-pototskyy/mastering-terraform-modern-and-secure-infrastructure-in-5-minutes.git

Step 1: Set Up Terraform

To begin, set up Terraform on your local machine by installing it and configuring the required providers.

Step 2: Configure Providers

Configure the cloud providers (e.g., Hetzner, AWS, Azure) you'll be using in your Terraform configuration.

Step 3: Define Resources

Define the infrastructure resources you want to create using Terraform's declarative configuration language.

Step 4: Deploy Infrastructure

Deploy your infrastructure by running Terraform commands to create, update, or destroy resources.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've completed the project, and you can now confidently use Terraform to deploy modern and secure infrastructure on the cloud.
