Publisher's Synopsis
With the advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) came the challenge of how different computer systems and applications are to interact with each other. For information and resources to be exchanged over the web, applications can expose an Application Programming Interface (API) using the Representational State Transfer (REST) software architecture or model. Clients who want to access these resources can do so with a client tool using the REST API endpoints exposed by the applications.
The book introduces Terraform Providers as objects that can manage resources exposed by RESTful APIs.
