Setting up IBM Software with Terraform

Automation is key when developing and deploying software. Community is key to get support, to find samples and more. This is why I like Terraform which is a great tool to automate infrastructure on any cloud and there is a huge community.

Infrastructure as Code

While developers have used source control systems for a long time, more and more DevOps engineers use the same mechanism to deploy and manage infrastructures. The main advantage of handling infrastructure as code is that with a declarative approach changes can be easier tracked and human errors can be reduced. Over the last years Terraform has gained popularity and became an established tool to set up infrastructure.

Getting started with Terraform

I’d like to blog soon more about Terraform. Here are some resources that I have used to learn it.
