Key benefits

  • Comprehensive coverage of Terraform fundamentals and IaC best practices
  • Step-by-step AWS setup and authentication, including best practices for secure cloud access
  • Real-world projects on VPCs, EC2, IAM, and S3, each reinforcing core IaC concepts

Description

This course offers a hands-on, in-depth journey through Terraform, the leading tool for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Starting with an AWS setup, you'll configure Terraform and dive into cloud account management, covering essentials like secure access and authentication. As you move forward, you’ll explore Terraform’s key components, architecture, and the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), advancing from basic configurations to complex infrastructure management. Projects guide you in deploying resources like VPCs, EC2 instances, and S3 static websites, while labs cover IAM user management, resource dependencies, and backend configurations. Practical exercises reinforce core concepts such as state management, module reusability, and variable handling. Through this structured approach, you’ll gain the skills to automate and scale infrastructure efficiently. In later sections, the course covers advanced topics, including workspace management, GitHub and Terraform Cloud integrations, and secure deployments with OIDC. By the end, you’ll be equipped to confidently deploy, manage, and scale infrastructure, with the hands-on experience needed for professional cloud environments. This comprehensive Terraform training prepares you for real-world applications across multi-cloud platforms and DevOps workflows.

Who is this book for?

This course is tailored for cloud engineers, DevOps practitioners, and IT professionals looking to master Terraform and Infrastructure as Code. Basic knowledge of cloud services (preferably AWS) and command-line interfaces is recommended but not mandatory, as all foundational topics are covered.

What you will learn

  • Set up AWS accounts with multi-factor authentication
  • Deploy and manage resources using Terraform scripts
  • Configure secure backends and state management practices
  • Automate VPC and EC2 deployments with Terraform projects
  • Implement variable handling with inputs, locals, and outputs
  • Integrate Terraform with GitHub and Terraform Cloud setups
