Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll deploy a simple web app to the cloud of your choice - composed of a database and a virtual machine where the frontend code will run. So that the configuration is reusable and consistent, we'll write it in Terraform.

Usually Terraform configurations are cloud-specific, and changing clouds requires a complete rewrite. In this case, so that you can reuse the same configuration across clouds, we'll be using Multy.

In-depth knowledge of Terraform and Multy is not needed to follow this tutorial. If you want to learn more about these tools, check out the Multy documentation and the Terraform documentation.

In this blog post series, we will be comparing different services in AWS, GCP and Azure. We'll go into detail in each of the resources and understand the differences between providers, something you need to be aware if you are looking into switching clouds.

Some examples will be given using Terraform, the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) market leader. If you want to know more about different IaC tools and how they compare, check our other blog post - Terraform vs Pulumi vs CloudFormation.

There are many computing resources available across all clouds which usually fall into one of these categories:

  • Containers (managed container services, kubernetes)
  • Instances (virtual machines, spot instances)
  • Serverless

In this article, we're specifically focusing on Virtual Machine instances. If you are interested in other resources, join our mailing list as we will be comparing other resources later on.
