Workshop: Modern Infrastructure with Terraform & Consul
Location:
- Seacliff A
Key takeaways
Prerequisites
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. This workshop will cover the basics of Terraform. Beginning with a quick lecture-style introduction to Terraform, we will quickly dive deep into the tool, following the fictitious evolution of a startup as our guide. Not only will this workshop 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.
