Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Provision, version and automate cloud infrastructure with Terraform, using modules, remote state, separate environments and reviewed pipelines that a team can rely on.
About this course
Manage infrastructure with code. Use Terraform to provision, version, and automate cloud resources reliably and repeatably.
What you will learn
- Explain infrastructure as code and compare Terraform with alternative tools.
- Write Terraform configurations using providers, resources, variables, outputs, locals and data sources.
- Build reusable modules and organise code into separate dev, staging and production environments.
- Store state safely in a remote backend with locking, and refactor or import resources without downtime.
- Handle secrets securely and detect and resolve drift using lifecycle controls.
- Run Terraform through pull request reviews and a CI pipeline to provision a complete web stack.
