As cloud-native environments grow increasingly complex, the need for seamless integration between infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible becomes vital. By combining these two powerful tools, teams can automate the entire lifecycle of infrastructure deployment and configuration with minimal friction.

This talk will introduce the Terraform-Ansible Plugin, showcasing how it bridges the gap between provisioning and configuration. Attendees will learn how to use Terraform to provision infrastructure and invoke Ansible playbooks for post-deployment configuration. We'll cover key use cases, demonstrate workflows, and explore best practices for leveraging this integration in real-world projects.

Whether you're a DevOps engineer, cloud administrator, or automation enthusiast, this session will equip you with the tools to streamline your infrastructure workflows.

This session is designed to provide practical knowledge, emphasizing use cases and live demos to ensure attendees can apply these techniques immediately.

Agenda:
10 mins: Introduction to Terraform and Ansible, and the need for integration.
20 mins: Live demonstration – Using Terraform to provision infrastructure and invoke Ansible playbooks for automated configuration.
5 mins: Q&A

Complete demo code and setup instructions will be available on GitHub, making it easy for attendees to replicate and extend the examples.
