Please note that the term you use “infrastructure as a code” is incorrect. It is “infrastructure as code”. I don’t want to be annoying but this could confuse your audience.
after 40 years as developer and 30 as CIO I will say your skills to explain are one of the best I have seen so far. Keep the good work gooing, all best to you
Hi Nana, by now I can say you are one of the top instructors in the internet world. Whenever I watch your videos, apart from the main concept, the small tips you give about certain terminologies are really useful. Along with Mumshad, Stephen Maarek, Zeal Vora, you guys rock the internet world!! All the very best and we expect more videos from you!!
I feel like these short informative videos are way better than most of the currently available university courses. You just keep the way more relevant, the explanations are always clear and useful! Thank you for the effort you put into making these videos!
This video explained well what several videos from my companies learning provider had failed to get across. Thanks for being so clear and showing how the parts work together at a high level
Hi Min, thanks so much! For now I only have 1 udemy course (bit.ly/2Rn1mWU), but more are coming and also working on a complete DevOps program with practical real life exercises :)
I’ve been searching for the best overview and explanation for Terraform. This is the best explanation I’ve seen on the whole internet. Thank you so much for explaining the terms so succinctly! I now understand Terraform much much more
I saw your video with amigoscode and came to your channel. I am complete new to DevOps and i've already learned so much. Thank you for your work, keep up doing it!
you are the best! I went through many videos and here I understood what other videos were trying to explain about Terraform. Thank you so much for all the efforts.
Thanks for such a clean and simple explanation to Terraform, really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into helping others achieve their goals :)
After watching your Docker and Kubernetes tutorials, I always turn to your channel whenever I need to learn a new technology; your explanations and examples are so clear and helpful! Thank you!
This woman rocks! Best explanations on the internet, every new tech thing that I need/want to learn I come here first to check if there's a video about it. Thanks for all your good work!

Thank you for doing this, Nana. You are a godsend for new people who have so much to learn and nobody to turn to for the kind of clear, simplified, step by step concepts. I am surprised why anyone would downvote these videos -- feel sorry for such people as they are stuck in some kind of a strange mindset. I have been learning a huge amount from your courses -- especially the "From Zero to Hero" ones. Your work is helping tens of thousands of people cut through so much jargon and also helping them see the connections between things.
Dear Nana is a DevOps University personified. Thank You Nana for everything you teach us with so much depth and passion. I have learnt a lot about DevOps through you more than i could've learnt through a certification course. Thank You Once Again Nana Ji (Ji is an honourary suffix to a respectable person usually a Guru )🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Hi Nana you inspired me to change my workplace and to start study Docker, Kubernetes and now Terraform. Thank you for all materials, videos and clear message. Cheers!
Need a favor from you, Nana. Suddenly I could sense a lot of yaml files around me 🤦♂️ like docker, k8s, terraform, ansible and devops CI/CD pipelines and so on. Though I work with most of them using googling, remembering or creating from scratch always makes me a bit nervous. Can you make a video on it how to handle them in an easy or innovative way to make it a cake walk? Apologies for bugging you with that.
oh wow. Just started new project, few days ago, i was spammed with tons of tools, customer external modules, apis etc. and wanted to quickly understand Terraform (without reading documentation because i didn't have time for it , yet :D), and I struggled a bit (all of these providers, i didn't know that it has state, so the TF files we already have have some hmm history of changes). Now I know pretty much everything, within 10 mins (speeded up video ;) ). Fantastic!
Thanks, Nana! I'm familiar with Terraform, and already created some stuff with it, but during wacthing your video I refreshed some knowledges about this technology, and now know something new.
Hello, Nana! Thank you for your incredible work. It's so important to have short and useful videos about different topics in the modern DevOps world. By the way, what do you think about deployment to Kubernetes via Terraform? I find that it's not a common practice and terraform shouldn't be used for such tasks.
Hi Maria, thank you for your great feedback 😊 To your question, yes it is possible, however that's not Terraform's strongest suit. Maybe they will continue developing in that direction. But currently Ansible would be the tool to automatically deploy to k8s. I hope this answers your question :)
Hi, this was a nice tutorial. I'm new to Terraform but have worked on other technologies like AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes, etc. Just 1 basic question here, can I write Terraform config files in a declarative way in YAML format as more familiar with YAML. Does Terraform supports the YAML declaration?
Excellent overview of Terraform. Great explanations of basics and differences between Ansible and Terraform. Great graphics to illustrate point. Thank you!
Hi Nana, thank you so much for yet another clear and understandable video. I'm looking forward to another video on Terraform, perhaps on modules or state!
Nana can you please assist with the strategy for learning these techs , your concepts are crystal clear , I attended multiple conferences but the way you explained things , concepts gets deep into mind... really appreciate
Hey I'm starting devops from scratch and all of this looks kinda overwhelming. How long did it take you to get comfortable with all these technologies?
For two years I was doing only Docker and Kubernetes with super intensive project, where I got most of my Kubernetes knowledge and after that I started adding technologies to my skillset. But during the first years I learned most of the concepts, so that I was more or less comfortable with it. That's why it's important not to learn 10 technologies at once (even if it's very tempting :)) but rather concentrate on 1 technology first and then add others.
Throwing in my $0.02: It's like anything else. It's like learning powershell or Python with a more limited scope. The hard part is understanding the underlying tech that it's controlling. Understanding how Digital Ocean puts its building blocks together is very different than AWS, and very different from Azure. Once you know how to put the pieces together then it comes down to writing the write HCL to make that happen. VSCode has a few good extensions to help out. The nice thing about TF is that you can tell it to pull config from provisioned services you've done manually, and then modify it to work in your particular deployment system.
Thanks a lot Nana for making such easy to understand videos. I came across your channel with RUclips suggestions. Keep making more such interesting vidoes🙏
Thank you so much for this amazing video :) I'm just starting with all the DevOpsie configurations as a back-end developer and found your channel super helpful!
You are a true teacher! Thank you so much for this and all of your content. You have really helped me to understand something I thought i'd never get! Thank you!!!
What a wonderful explanation! You’re an excellent instructor. I really appreciate how you simplify such a complex tutorial, making it understandable even for beginners in the field of IaC. Thank you for this invaluable sharing, and please keep up the great work!
Excellent, concise presentation. I very much look forward to your future contributions. One question. In a blue/green fashion if a given terraform breaks a running app can the previous Terraform used be rerun to return the state to one that function? Again, thank you so much.
Hi Rajesh, yes I will definitely cover some Terraform demo in the future. I'm not sure if it will be a separate youtube video or maybe in an udemy course or other content. But stay tuned, I announce everything on my social media or communities tab :)
Hi Nana and thanks for this another wonderful video. I know how to use both tools seperately and now I want to combine them. Using Terraform for an underlying infrastructure and using Ansible to create Sandboxes, but I'm stuck in my code. Please, can you direct us on how to build sandboxes using these tools? Thanks
Hey Nana, thanks for the great videos! I'm recently getting into infrastructure as code and am now choosing between Teraform and Pulumi. Do you have thoughts on this? Have you used Pulumi? If so, I would be really interested in watching a video about it!
Hi Severin. I'm thinking about trying out Pulumi to see how it compares, maybe will also do a video about it. Meanwhile you probably have already selected the tool. If you selected Pulumi, let me know what is your experience with it so far. Thanks and regards, Nana :)

Terraform with GCP where can we get detailed docs on providers and provisioners
Your training with Terraform is focused with just AWS or does it also cover Azure and GCP too?
