Datanauts 137: Automating Infrastructure As Code With Terraform

The robotic production facilities on board the Datanauts’ dreadnought cruiser are really great at making scout drones for identifying rich mineral deposits. Sadly, our probe production numbers are fairly low right now, because every single build is done by hand. Blasphemy! We need a way to simply define the end state of our drone creation and then let an orchestration engine handle all of the building. Plus, if the design changes, we need to make sure all of the existing drones are retrofitted to take advantage of the new improvements! What can be done?! Our guest today is Ned Bellavance. We pick Ned’s brain about infrastructure as code and his hands-on experience with HashiCorp’s Terraform.
