Summary

In this chapter, we got a very quick feel for the approach and considerations when it comes to choosing the right IaC tool for your project.

We also looked at both Terraform and Ansible and some of the small differences between the two tools before discussing Visual Studio Code, which I hope you will install and make use of.

In the next chapter, which is the last chapter of Part 1 of this book, we will look at the example project, which we will execute throughout the remainder of the book and get our teeth into both Terraform and Ansible on the two major public cloud providers.
