Exploring Alternative Infrastructure-as-Code Tools
Welcome to the final chapter of our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) journey! By now, you should be familiar with the basics of IaC and have gained hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible.
As you progress in your career, being aware of and adept with tools in the market is crucial. This chapter aims to expand your IaC toolset by introducing you to three additional tools: Pulumi, Azure Bicep, and AWS CloudFormation.
While the previous tools we explored were cloud-agnostic, Azure Bicep and AWS CloudFormation are specific to their respective cloud providers. On the other hand, Pulumi sets itself apart by enabling you to use familiar programming languages such as Python to define and manage your infrastructure in actual code.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:
- Getting a hands-on understanding of Pulumi
- Getting hands-on knowledge of Azure Bicep
- Getting hands-on expertise in AWS CloudFormation...
