Overview

Choosing the right tool for provisioning and configuring infrastructure can be tricky, as there are several options available. Among them, Terraform and Ansible are two of the most widely used. In order to determine which one is the best fit for you, it's important to understand the key differences between the two. This demo comparison will help you make an informed decision.

In this lab, we will take a practical approach by demoing both Terraform and Ansible to see the difference.

Below are the concepts we will discuss.

• What is Terraform?
• What is Ansible?
• Infrastructure as Code
• Configuration Management
• Infrastructure State
• Mutable Infrastructure
• Immutable Infrastructure
• Idempotence
• Imperative Programming
• Declarative Programming
