Advancing Spark - Understanding Terraform

We recently saw Databricks announce the General Availability of the Databricks Terraform Provider... but what does that actually mean? Whilst many people have heard of Terraform, it can be a little intimidating, or worse, people consider it a specialist tool just for "DevOps Engineers".
In this video Simon is joined by Anna-Maria Wykes, the Advancing Analytics DevOps guru and Microsoft Data Platform MVP, to understand what Terraform is all about, and why we should care about the new Databricks Terraform Provider. For today, we're just talking about the what and why, with a dive into how to use the tool coming in future videos!
For more info around the Databricks Terraform Provider, see the release blog here: databricks.com...

Searching for the next video in the series about Terraform and Databricks. Where can we find it?

[@alexischicoine2072]

Terraform is really interesting and it covers a gap with Databricks regarding source control of things that aren’t notebooks like workflows or clusters. Should be easier to use than using the apis directly.

works great for both, workspace creation and jobs definitions

[@palanithangaraj797]

using pulumi... It's alright, but definitely lags behind terraform in terms of keeping up with frequent databricks changes

Can we get an Anna and Gavi collab? Getting bored of seeing Simon... :p
