Using Terraform with vSphere vBrownBag

~ Colin Westwater

This has been cross posted from my own blog vGemba.net. Go check it out.

On the 19th December 2017 I presented a session on vBrownbag titled Using Terraform with vSphere. It’s now available on the vBrownBag YouTube channel.

Rebbeca Fitzhugh reached out to me and asked if I would do a session after she read my Terraform Series. Of course I jumped at the chance.

In the session I cover:

  • Terraform Terminology
  • Installation
  • Initialisation
  • Creating a new VM
  • Cloning a VM
  • Variables and the associated files
  • Documentation

It’s pretty much all live demo and I show how easy it is to get started with Terrform to spin up or clone VM’s. I have posted the code I used on my GitHub. This should be the first of a series on Terraform so watch out for more.

I want thank the vBrownBag team for the opportunity to present. I love the content they produce and to be asked to participate was an amazing opportunity.
