Terraform Setup and Usage Guide
Terraform is a powerful tool for managing infrastructure as code. Here’s how to get started:
1. Install Terraform: Download it from the official site or use a package manager like Homebrew for macOS. Verify with `terraform -version`.
2. Initialize: Create a directory, add a `.tf` file (e.g., `main.tf`), and run `terraform init`. This sets up your workspace and downloads necessary providers.
3. Configure: Write your infrastructure code in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). For example, define AWS EC2 instances or other resources.
4. Plan and Apply: Run `terraform plan` to preview changes, then `terraform apply` to execute them. Terraform will handle resource creation, updates, and deletions.
5. Manage: Update your `.tf` files as your infrastructure changes, and Terraform will maintain consistency.
