Getting Started with Terraform

Learning Byte Overview

This Learning Byte describes what Terraform is, why we created a provider for it, and how you can get started using it with your MongoDB Atlas cluster. Before diving into what the Atlas Terraform Provider is, a MongoDB expert will walk you through the background of Infrastructure as Code, which led the way to tools such as Terraform. After walking through how to obtain the necessary information from Atlas to get started, you will see a live demo on installing the Terraform Provider.  You will then learn how to initialize, plan, and deploy the Atlas Terraform Provider. The end of the Learning Byte goes over ways you can learn more and how to provide feedback on the product.
