Introduction
Hello, after some time without posting we are back!. Today’s post will be focused on Terraform.
For those that never heard about it, Terraform allows you to build infrastructure as if you were writing code.
I started playing with it mainly for two reasons: In the first place, I’m reading the book Test-Driven Development with Python, and at some point I had to setup my own machine with a webserver to deploy an application. I thought that having some kind of automation for it was a good idea. Secondly, I needed a good excuse to learn some AWS magic, and this was the perfect excuse for that!.
So, in this blogpost I’ll share what I learned about Terraform and my progress from zero to feeling a bit less confused with AWS and the idea of Infrastructure as Code. I’ll show you how to automate the creation of an EC2 Instance running Nginx in a non-default VPC.
