I really like your teaching style. No slide decks, no reading verbatim from notes, just real demos. This was a lot of great info in 27m. Thanks so much!
Terraform is multi-cloud but that doesn't mean you can take your aws template and move it gcp or azure, you still need to research and rewrite your whole infrastructure for the targeted cloud provider. And any differences in services you still need to be aware of and understand. Kubernetes is more portable but it still relies on cloud provider servers such as load balancers, vpcs, etc. which can work differently between cloud providers.
Love how I stumbled on your channel for a monitor review, now I am hooked with all your other content! Thank you for this great video, been playing around with it lately, so this is some good reminders!🙌🏾
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear and easy to understand. You explained Terraform in less than 30 minutes, you did what others couldnt achieve in several hours long courses 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Probably. If you go to AMI Catalog, you'll see the latest Amazon Linux 2023 AMI. Currently it's ami-05c13eab67c5d8861 (64-bit (x86)) / ami-0840becec4971bb87 (64-bit (Arm))
Dude, you’re an incredibly clear speaker, everything made sense and now I’m madly excited about Terraform. We use it at work but I’ve always avoided it in lieu of making changes manually. So amped! Also, I’m heading straight to your networking video next, so much to learn. And while people might nitpick aspects of your video format, I think overall it’s a solid 9.5/10 (nothing’s perfect, but you did a phenomenal job getting me to appreciate Tf and see why it’s worth getting into). Cheers mate!
Travis. I am completely new to Terraform and I have been digging for days looking for a "Practical Tutorial". I can definitely hang my hat on this one. Many of the others start out too detailed. Your way of teaching is perfect. I am a Network Engineer and have been using Ansible for automating many tasks. But I have read that Terraform works with REST APIs which is what I need for some of my detailed firewall config/management. Thanks! If you have any classes available, I would be interested in purchasing one.
Thanks for your video! Very helpful for consolidating my understanding of terraform as a newbie. (I wrote my first terraform configuration file today.)
I've only recently put on my Terraform training wheels. I'm really loving it so far and this video has helped me to cement things in my brain. As a non programmer that's trying to launch myself into a new career I struggle with a few concepts but you have really helped me to understand them. However, I followed along with this project and I cant seem to figure out where I have gone wrong. My user data script runs fine and index.html is created. I need to fine tune my networking so I am able to view it in browser. I only get as far as a loading wheel so not sure if my SG or VPC are working as expected at the minute. Really love the content and your story resonates with me. One day I'll get there too!
pls how do i save the changes that i make to the EC2 instance before typing the command "terraform apply ", because everytime i click ctrl + S, it doesn't work, pls i really need help
Your teaching style is awesome! it will be great to have a second part of this terraform video in which you go more in-depth of other advanced topics such as modules, filters, terraform cloud providers, etc.
I just saw terraform this word recently, and saw your video now. Then I noticed this video was published 1 year ago😅. Thanks for making so many enlightening videos.
Hi Travis! First of all Super Thankyou!! I m new to terraform learning .. the way you have explained here with just one example that compelled me to like and subscribe. You channel is my new addiction.🤩
One thing I think was a missed opportunity here is that you didn't cover "terraform plan". Very important TF option to have in your toolbelt. That said, your stuff is great!
Thanks for the video...i wonder what is the step to integrate with existing vpc?..normally the use case is to integrate with our existing infrastrucutre..please advice..
Hi can you please make a video & explain the writing/structure of Ansible & Terraform in a simple manner & in layman's terms, like when & where to add spaces, hyphens, what is variable, etc it's a bit confusing ... please it's a request, do reply
Travis, that is good - but again for the purpose of revising; what if I do not know terraform at all. I am looking for a video wherein i can learn how the terraform documentation be brough to use to set up infra through code, what do cloud/devops engineers calculate to deploy their infra.....(i mean following through the documentation)
Hi Travis, here after my succeful asw saa exam. A video about the next routes after that would be fantastic, for exaple best routes to get hired or just like your thoughts. Even some resource to practice before get hired would be apprectiated. Love you!
Very cool and convincing. But now I want to know more! E.g. what if I wanted to actually spin up a 100 servers, I don't imagine I'd have to write down a 100 variable names? Or an autoscaling cluster or something? And maybe I missed something, but how did you provision your server with nginx? And I understood it should be very easy to switch between cloud providers, but this seems aws focused. I understand that not everything fits in one video :) of course I can google everything but I would definitely watch a followup!
Great video 👍 A question: suppose I want to change my instance from micro to large, are all processes in the instance be stopped and started? I see you can run shell commands which can interact with our servers ( jaguardb vector database) to make adjustments to server configuration. That is cool. If processes do not get interrupted, it would really really cool.
TF can hadle that request, but AWS will stop the instance to upsize it (that's an AWS thing), so processes will get interrupted for that brief time. May be able to bring in a load balancer and add an extra instance that stays up while upsizing?
@@TravisMedia yes, extra instance and load balancer would work perfectly for computing nodes or stateless nodes. Here in database servers, they use sharding for data distribution, the extra node needs synchronization with the main one. This can be done one by one, (with one extra node), for all nodes to be upgraded . it would just take time to copy data.
Hey Gil! It’s hardcoded. When you go to launch an EC2 instance you can choose “Browse More APIs” and find an AWS provided AMI and get the ID there. I just found an Amazon Linux 2 AMI and got the AMI Id and used that.
Great video and content. But i agree with some of the comments below: it would be nice if you could zoom to your code or increase fontsize. It‘s hard to read
After watching some of your vids it seems like your journey started with webdev and you’re now in devops. I’m learning webdev now. Was the transition easy once you understood the webdev languages?
I like the idea. But if I would want to have 3 clouds supported, I still need to make the code 3 times right? Because all the different cloud providers like AWS, GCP and Azure have different syntax, right? So yeah, initially it will be more work, but then you can easily transfer to another cloud provider if one were to go unavailable. But what about servers? I mean if you deploy windows servers for example, all the configuration would have to be in like a script so it ran when terraform is creating the instance, otherwise it would just be an unconfigured windows server. I have lots of questions
The benefit is you only have one syntax (Terraform), but yes 3 cloud scripts. The alternative though would be a Cloudformation template (for AWS), ARM template (for Azure), and whatever Google uses for its deployment. All three different technologies and syntax with each one being proprietary to it's own cloud/solution. As to your second question, that would all take place in the script (and preferably all controlled via variables that can be easily changed/configured). You would essentially want your entire environment or potential environment to be reproducible from a "one-click install" script.
@@TravisMedia I would really love to see it in a real world scenario and how to really put it to use. Seems very powerful. My boss told me to look into it but it all seems a bit too complicated for me as a fresh-out of school Junior Cloud Engineer xD
I really like your teaching style. No slide decks, no reading verbatim from notes, just real demos. This was a lot of great info in 27m. Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot.its more easier when listening to your teaching ❤
Nice to finally see a Terraform video that is an actual hands-on tutorial!
Terraform is multi-cloud but that doesn't mean you can take your aws template and move it gcp or azure, you still need to research and rewrite your whole infrastructure for the targeted cloud provider. And any differences in services you still need to be aware of and understand.

great video Travis but please any chance you can add the codes or have them some where in a git repo we can sort of copy and follow along the video ?
This is so wonderful; straight to the point. Do you have anything done for use with Azure as a Provider?
When using "terraform destroy" while having multiple instances, how to terminate a specific instance ?
When you talked about the profile, what if you had a profile named travis? How would you do that?
how was the AMI ID created or how did come to be? Thanks in advanced
Hey Gil! It’s hardcoded. When you go to launch an EC2 instance you can choose “Browse More APIs” and find an AWS provided AMI and get the ID there. I just found an Amazon Linux 2 AMI and got the AMI Id and used that.
is there a way to build out and test the entire infra locally before deploying to the cloud? can all this be done using a free tier?
I enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it.
