Intro Terraform uses API to interact with your Cloud provider’s platform. Hence many error messages thrown by your terraform deploy come directly from the cloud platform (i.e OCI services) . In some cases, they prove to be very unhelpful and empty of insights, leaving you wonder what really is breaking your deployment. These are part …

Intro In this tutorial we will try provisioning a vm on azure using their terraform provider and reproduce the same deployment I have completed on AWS and Oracle Cloud. As usual we won’t just deploy an instance but also configure an nginx website linked to its public IP. I’ll end this post with some notes …

Intro “Developer’s constant urge to use Terraform like a programming language :)” My impression after enjoying my first terraform applys is that it’s kind of rigid, though when someone says Immutable and declarative in the same sentence, you should definitely get that it’s not procedural by design. Therefore, you can’t expect a bash shell …

Intro This has become a habit so far to explore different ways of automated provisioning for each cloud provider. This time, I will try Terraform on AWS and reproduce the same deployment I have completed on Oracle Cloud, and as usual we won’t just deploy an instance but also configure a website linked to its …
