Hello Terraform

This week we’ll get started with a powerful and amazing tool: Terraform. Terraform enables you to describe your cloud resources in a plain text file. The file, called a configuration file is executed by the terraform command. If any resources are missing or have changes, terraform restores them to the desired state. Together, Ansible and Terraform make it possible for you to completely describe a cloud application.
