Managing training instances in the cloud

Published 6:00 AM UTC Dec 31, 2022

Cloud automation is important. When we have a need for a training instance, we use terraform for VM provisioning. But: each setup has slight differences (SW Versions, Number of VMs needed, ...) We decided to build the terraform code as abstract as possible and use a per setup data based approach to provide information on numbers of VMs and deployment order. All data are then used in combination with terraform and Puppet Bolt.
