Book Description

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Terraform have become essential tools for managing cloud infrastructure and automating deployment processes. This book presents a step-by-step approach to master these tools and build secure and scalable AWS infrastructure.

The book starts with an introduction to patterns and anti-patterns of IaC and Terraform, explaining the common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid. It then moves on to discuss the importance of planning and designing infrastructure projects in AWS and making informed decisions for projects in AWS Terraform. You will learn how to implement Terraform in their projects and deploy serverless projects with Terraform. Further, you will be able to deploy containers in AWS with Terraform, explaining the best practices for Terraform IaC projects. You will then delve into leveraging Terraform for the enterprise, building Git workflows for IaC and Terraform projects, and automating deployment of Terraform projects. Next, you will be able govern AWS with Terraform and build a secure infrastructure with AWS Terraform. Finally, you will learn to achieve a perfect AWS infrastructure with Terraform.

By the end of this book, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of Terraform and IaC, along with the knowledge required to build, manage, and deploy complex infrastructure on AWS.
