In this video we'll use Terraform to provision two more DigitalOcean droplets. One will be another (refactored) web server resource, the other will be our load balancer. We'll use a few Terraform /DigitalOceanfeatures to provision and configure all of this infrastructure automatically:
- Terraform template files and variables to automatically create a haproxy configuration file
- user-data to run configuration scripts on our DigitalOcean droplets at first boot
# TABLE OF CONTENTS
0:19 Configuring Droplets with User-Data
3:32 Provisioning a load balancer
4:45 Terraform Template Files
10:19 Terraform plugins/terraform init
