Simplifying Infrastructure Management with Terraform and YAML Configuration

Abstract

This thesis explores the use of Terraform with YAML to streamline cloud infrastructure deployment. It examines the efficiency of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly focusing on the impact of YAML on Terraform modules and client code. The methodology includes a literature review, case studies, and tracking projects on GitHub. The anticipated outcomes of this research are multifaceted, including the practical demonstration of improved deployment efficiency and an enhancement in the scalability and maintainability of cloud infrastructures. Furthermore, the thesis endeavors to equip practitioners with the skills necessary to effectively navigate the complexities of modern infrastructure management.

The research addresses inefficiencies in current deployment methods, utilizing GitHub as a central tool for data management and progress tracking. The results are intended to provide a blueprint for optimized infrastructure management and a foundation for future IaC developments.
