Automate Cloudflare with Terraform and GitHub Actions! - Terraform Tutorial for Beginners

Video Description

Terraform is a powerful infrastructure as code tool to help you create and manage infrastructure across multiple public or private clouds. It can help you provision, configure, and manage infrastructure using their simple and human readable configuration language. Using Terraform helps you automate your infrastructure and your DevOps workflow, do it consistently, and allows you to collaborate with teams in Git. Today, we're going to set up and configure Terraform on your machine so we can start using Terraform. Then we'll configure cf-terraforming to import our Cloudflare state and configuration into Terraform. After that we'll set up a GitHub report and configure GitHub actions so you have CI and CD for deploying your Infrastructure automatically using a Git Flow. If you're new to Terraform, that's fine! This is a beginner tutorial for Terraform and by the end of this, you will feel like an expert!
