How do I get started with Terraform?

How do I get started with Terraform?

To get started with Terraform, first, install it on your machine. You can download it from the official Terraform website.

What are the basic concepts I need to understand?

You should familiarize yourself with providers, resources, and modules. Providers are plugins that allow Terraform to interact with cloud services.

Can you give me an example of a simple Terraform configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe01e"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

How do I apply the configuration?

You can apply the configuration by running terraform init to initialize the directory, followed by terraform apply to create the resources.
