SGV Linux Users Group - Cloud Automation Using Terraform and Ansible
Details
TOPIC: Cloud Automation Using Terraform and Ansible
The software lifecycle does not end when the developer packages their code and makes it ready for deployment. The delivery of this code is an integral part of shipping a product. Infrastructure orchestration and resource configuration should follow a similar lifecycle (and process) to that of the software delivered on it. In this talk, we will discuss how to use Terraform and Ansible for automating your infrastructure and software delivery.
Terraform is an Infrastructure-as-Code tool for building, managing and versioning your infrastructure. It allows you to provision and orchestrate your resources effectively while ensuring that all your resources configured the way you defined in your code. We will see a practical example of deploying a complete AWS environment using Terraform.
Ansible is an automation tool that excels at configuration management and application deployment. We will use Ansible and AWX (the open source version of Ansible Tower) to configure our resources, deploy applications and perform patch management.
