2. Automating BIG-IP (SSL Orchestrator) Provisioning with Terraform

An advantage of deploying into public cloud environments is that the virtual network and VM instance provisioning can be fully automated.

In this module, you will:

• Learn about the Terraform tool
• Review the infrastructure needed to support SSL Orchestrator in AWS
• Use Terraform to deploy into AWS
• Review the configuration that is created

Note

This module does not cover SSL Orchestrator Topology configuration. That will be done using a different automation tool (Ansible) in a later module.
