🚀 Big news!! Today is launch day!! 🚀

Introducing... InfraSketch ⚡️

InfraSketch is a one-stop-tool to:
▶️generate infrastructure
▶️reuse Terraform templates, and
▶️create a visual sketch of infrastructure.

Should be ashamed of your “great, industry best customer service” wont fly again

@SouthwestAir in an airport for 8 hours because your network vs hub and spoke model and crapped out engine on an old plane had me late to my connecting. $200 is an embarrassment and poor comp for one of my very few vacation days per year

4/4
Scaling across environments

Enable and disable environments from Terraform files on the go.

Why build IaC tools on Terraform?

☑️ Terraform works with multi-cloud systems (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle, IBM, Tencent Cloud, etc)

☑️ Terraform builds, changes and versions infrastructure efficiently

Managing changes

As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied.

7/7
Minimize Blast Radius

Push only a few configurations on the infrastructure at a time. That way, if something went wrong, the damage to the infrastructure will be minimal and can be corrected quickly. Deploying plenty of configurations at once is very risky.

Did you know we host a weekly live audio chat ⚡️on all things cloud, DevOps and IaC?

While the audio chats are not recorded, the show notes are, and in 7 threads here 👇 our community member Mark Smith share several IaC best practices 👊

6/7
Use Self Variable

In instances when you don’t know the value of the variable before deploying an infrastructure. E.g. you want to use the IP address of an instance which will be deployed only after the Terraform “apply” command. use self.ipv4_address as a self variable.

5⃣ Understand how Infrastructure as Code affects your IT architecture

👉 Modularization of resources and dependencies allow for easier debugging
👉 Ability to reuse codebases
👉 Modular architectures fit in with the modularization of all other layers of the OSI stack

Considering implementing Terraform in your DevOps environment?

Here are 5⃣ key points to note before diving in. 🧵👇

4⃣ Watch Terraform syntax rules closely

👉 Terraform is a syntax sensitive language compared to JSON or YAML. Obtain a strong foundational knowledge of Terraform and build from basics to prevent future debugging complications.
