Terraform introduction

In this video I’ll give you an introduction to Terraform and IaC (Infrastructure as Code) in general. I will cover terraform concepts like; providers, modules, resources, state, etc. Also, I’m going to give you some pointers for best practice, as well as try to convince you why you should use Terraform (or IaC in general) for your next project.
