Understanding Terraform & Cloud Pricing
What is Terraform?
Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that lets you define and provision cloud infrastructure using declarative configuration files.
- Multi-cloud: Supports AWS, GCP, Azure, and 100+ providers
- State management: Tracks infrastructure changes
- Plan & Apply: Preview changes before applying
- Modules: Reusable infrastructure components
Cloud Pricing Models
Cloud providers offer several pricing models:
- On-Demand: Pay for what you use, no commitment
- Reserved: 1-3 year commitment for 30-70% discount
- Spot: Bid on unused capacity, up to 90% discount
- Savings Plans: Commit to usage for discounts
Common Resource Types
- Compute: EC2, GCE, Azure VM
- Storage: S3, GCS, Azure Blob
- Database: RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL
- Serverless: Lambda, Cloud Functions, Azure Functions
- Container: ECS, GKE, AKS
- Networking: VPC, Load Balancers, CDN
Cost Optimization Tips
- Right-size instances: Don't over-provision
- Use auto-scaling: Scale based on demand
- Reserved instances: For predictable workloads
- Spot instances: For fault-tolerant workloads
- Monitor usage: Set up billing alerts
- Clean up resources: Remove unused resources
- Use Terraform: Track and manage infrastructure
