My Terraform Examples, specifically for Vsphere Development. Infrastructure-as-Code! Another absolutely brilliant project by the genius minds at Hashicorp.
From Terraform.io: "Terraform provides a common configuration to launch infrastructure โ from physical and virtual servers to email and DNS providers. Once launched, Terraform safely and efficiently changes infrastructure as the configuration is evolved." Infrastructure-as-Code!!!!
