You’ve got a bunch of pets in your data center (or maybe your basement) but the time has come for a revolution. Everyone in the industry is talking about “Platform As A Service” and its time to leave the shadows and give it a whirl.
While you know you definitely want to give that environment a try, you also battle with various emotions like .. “I want to provision it correctly and consistently”. “I don’t want another pet in my basement so let’s try Amazon Web Services !”
Like every new shiny car you want, you want the process to be as painless and fast.
So with these wonderful thoughts, I am on this journey to create a multipart blogging series that takes a reader from provisioning a minimal environment to installing a paas on it. The next part talk about using Terraform to provision your AWS environment in readiness to install my and possibly your favorite paas product.
