Taming modern cloud environments with Terraform

Nic Jackson

Today’s cloud infrastructure is really complex. As the datacenters are evolving rapidly and the cloud adoption is at its peak, you still have the same goal — safely deploy your application to your infrastructure. We need to tame our data centers by managing change across systems and by establishing a workflow for both developers and operations engineers to build in a collaborative environment.
