Terraform and Git for CloudOps
The third-party half of infrastructure as code: how Terraform state works and why it needs a locked remote backend on AWS, the write-plan-apply workflow, how Terraform differs from CloudFormation operationally, and the Git workflow that makes any of it safe in a team.
