So how did Lando manage his mining operation on Bespin prime? He used Terraform! Almost everybody starts out using cloud services using the beautiful web consoles from AWS, GCP, Azure etc. After kicking off some instances, dropping some stuff in buckets and juggling a cloud load balancer or two you feel there must be a better way. Master Yoda has taught you: “Automate, you must”. So you try the CLI tools and start learning Bash scripting, again….(for the 42435231th time). Many padewans have been down this path before. There is a better way: Terraform. It allows you de manage cloud resources as code. And it’s not that hard. This talk aims to show everybody they can be Cloud Master quickly with Terraform!
