Summary:
From Ansible to Chef through to ARM Templates and Chef, there are loads of tools out there in the infrastructure as code space at the moment and it’s sometimes a little hard to work out what works best in your scenario. Infrastructure as code is not difficult – it’s perhaps more difficult to work out which tool to use.

Terraform is a great tool which is very flexible and works in many scenarios. It’s easy and quick to learn.

Come along to learn more about getting started with automating Azure infrastructure deployment using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
