Workshop details, 'An Introduction to Terraform'  

Learn how to safely provision and manage infrastructure lifecycle with Terraform and Terraform Enterprise!

Terraform is a fantastic tool for provisioning infrastructure, but with such a broad range of responsibilities, it is easy to become overwhelmed with the API, terminology, and workflow. In this workshop you will learn how to safely provision and manage infrastructure lifecycle with Terraform and Terraform Enterprise.

Beginning with a quick lecture-style introduction to Terraform, we will quickly dive deep into the tool. Not only will this tutorial discuss various components of Terraform, but attendees will also understand why and how they might make infrastructure changes with Terraform.

Now that our infrastructure is provisioned, how can we connect the various components? With one or two machines, it is easy to point IP addresses, but what happens when we have thousands?

We will use Terraform to create a Consul cluster and explore service discovery and health monitoring with Consul. Depending on the time remaining, we will explore the complex problems of secret management using Vault.
