With the increasing complexity of the public cloud, infrastructure as code with software development practices has become the recommended way to manage the cloud. Terraform is an open-source, cloud-agnostic tool that enables Cloud and DevOps Engineers to automate and maintain infrastructure with a powerful machine-friendly but human-readable syntax. This learning path contains a series of hands-on labs that will teach you how to build infrastructure using Terraform. An IDE browser is provided in each lab to write and deploy the Terraform code. Complete the challenge at the end to validate your Terraform skills.
Learning Objectives
The learning path teaches you how to perform the following in Terraform:
- Deploy and destroy AWS infrastructure using Terraform
- Use variables to create dynamic Terraform code
- Creating conditional logic
- How to create loops to scale infrastructure
- Securely store Terraform state data
- Develop modules to create reusable infrastructure code
- Use Terragrunt to scale and enhance Terraform code
- Write tests to validate Terraform configurations
Intended Audience
This learning path is intended for Cloud and DevOps Engineers.
