Get started with the foundations of Infrastructure as Code and learn how Terraform can automate the deployment and management of resources on Azure. This book covers all of the software engineering practices related to Terraform and Infrastructure as Code with Azure as a cloud provider.

The book starts with an introduction to Infrastructure as Code and covers basic concepts, principles, and tools, followed by an overview of Azure and Terraform that shows you how Terraform can be used to provision and manage Azure resources. You will get started writing multiple Terraform scripts and explore its various concepts. Author Ritesh Modi takes a deep dive into Terraform and teaches you about deployment and multiple resource creation using loops. Writing a reusable script using modules is discussed as well as management and administration of secrets, sensitive data, and passwords within Terraform code. You will learn to store and version Terraform scripts and know how Terraform is used in Azure DevOps pipelines. And you will write unit and integration tests for Terraform and learn its best practices. The book also highlights and walks through the Terraform Azure Provider and shows you a simple way to create a new Terraform provider.

In the Chapter 2, we’ll introduce Terraform at a higher level by creating a simple configuration, we’ll follow the process of executing the configuration against Azure, and we’ll understand the actions performed during this time before getting into the depths of Terraform concepts and configuration. This will not only make the following chapters easy to follow but also help readers understand the big picture of writing and executing Terraform scripts. The focus of this chapter will be on understanding the architecture of Terraform, setting up the development environment, setting up an Azure subscription, writing our first Terraform configuration, and understanding the Terraform workflow.

After reading this book, you will be able to write quality Terraform scripts that are secure by design, modular, and reusable in Azure.
