How to Install Terraform on Ubuntu
- Terraform is an open-source tool that simplifies the process of developing and managing infrastructure components by defining resources through human-readable configuration files.
- It works in three stages: Write, Plan, and Apply. Write to declare configurations in a human-readable language. Plan to create an execution plan. Apply to perform those actions in the specified order.
- In this guide, we walk you through the steps to install Terraform on an Ubuntu machine and deploy NGINX on Docker using Terraform.
- The prerequisites include a virtual machine with Ubuntu 22.04 and Docker installed on Ubuntu.
- To install Terraform, you can download and save the Hashicorp PGP key, add the key to Ubuntu's package source-list, update you package source-list, and install Terraform using the apt install terraform command.
- To build an infrastructure using Terraform, you can create a directory, edit the main.tf file to define the requirements, initialize the directory, validate if the configuration is correct and valid, and build the infrastructure using the terraform apply command.
- In case you want to destroy the server, run the terraform destroy command.
- NodeShift offers virtual machines at a very affordable cost and with a user-friendly interface.
- At NodeShift, we provide robust cloud essentials like GPUs, compute nodes, and more for deploying VMs seamlessly.
