Infrastructure-as-code enables you to provision, maintain and define your cloud infrastructure using code. In this video we discuss AWS' Cloudformation and open-source tool Terraform and discuss the strengths and limitations of both tools.

14:30 it had been over 4 years, did terraform updated to accept yaml as well? I remember reading a couple of years ago that it is in works and there are conversion tools.
Thank you for this nice and helpful overview. Regarding your description: Does the Terraform-update to V0.12 change something in the comparison? From what I can tell, it only concerns other topics that weren't part of the comparison, doesn't it?
JSON is a semantic and syntactic subset of YAML ... so ... Terraform thus also supports YAML - if you want. Although ... the whole point of HCL is that it makes it even simpler than YAML
Terraform also lags behind AWS for new services. It takes time to update the provider in order to make use of the new AWS services. Just as it lags with CloudFormation.
Hello CloudYeti nice explanation about the difference between the two. Do u have any videos on live projects where we can use both simultaneously, like you said one to provision infrastructure (cloudformation) and other to monitor (terraform). would be really helpful if you can create a video on the same. Thanks
Hi Venu, let's say that you want to automate your Monitors for infrastructure. Let's assume you're using Datadog as a monitoring tool. Terraform has a datadog provider so you can create infrastructure with Cloudformation and monitors with terraform.
@@CloudYeti Thank you for your response so in layman terms provision the infrastructure through Cloudformation and maintain the application using terraform ?
In Simple words: With terraform you can provision infrastructure as well as resources for other tools ( eg: monitors in Datadog monitoring tool) .But, if you want to stick to Cloudformation for provisioning infrastructure, you can use terraform to do things Cloudformation cannot do.
Most comprehensive video on terraform & Cloudformation for which one to choose.
Thanks Syed. Glad you enjoyed it!
just started watching your videos to learn Terraform. Good presentation in acceptable lengths.

Explained very well and thank you for sharing. Looking forward for more video's
thanks for such a nice video, I really enjoyed. your way of explain is the best. Great Explanation. Please keep posting ...thanks again
such a awesome explanation never seen any video like this on these topics
I thought Udemy was your sponsor... You did a heck of job on this series...good job!!
Thank you really great video keep up the hard work

Thank you for your video and nice explanation :D
Nice Video. Please continue doing this work.
Terraform also lags behind AWS for new services. It takes time to update the provider in order to make use of the new AWS services. Just as it lags with CloudFormation.
Thank you for putting together this video. It's simple and easy to understand. Can you do another one comparing Terraform and Ansible?
Hi Joseph, thanks for your feedback. We will definitely take your request into consideration.
Second this. Please do!
Thanks bro. Nice video
So nice vedio its helpful for interview. Thanks lot.
Hi, I followed the vedio and successfully got the result. Can please upload more vedios regarding Terraform
The content is actually pretty good, but the title is misleading: This will not prepare you for an interview above "intern" level.
Hi Sergio, thanks for the feedback. Do you have any suggestions for a title?
@@CloudYeti Simply remove "Prepare for DevOps/ Cloud Engineer Interview", a good replacement would be "AWS Cloudformation vs Terraform: Quick recap"

As you told we can use terraform and cloudformation simultaneously can you provide a use case

@@CloudYeti Thank you
Can you brief me what is statefile and why it is required to be maintained
@Sachin - as Saurav notes in the video - try the last link in his description. And I think preserve would be a better fit as to purpose vs maintain.
great video
