What you'll learn:
- Create Infrastructure in AWS and other cloud providers using Terraform
- Learn fundamental Terraform syntax
- Configure Terraform providers for different Cloud Service Providers
- Understand how to use variables, interpolations, and templates
- Package Terraform code into re-usable modules
- Bootstrap compute resources using Terraform Provisioners
- Manage Terraform state both local and remote using AWS object storage
Cloud computing has taken over the ITlandscape and is soon to outpace on-premise and in-house data centers as companies are starting to realize the efficiencies, cost savings, and flexibility the cloud can provide. Computing resources can be created and destroyed simply by calling an API. Entire virtual data centers can be created in a matter of minutes or hours.
Whether your company or application was born in the cloud or transitioning to the cloud, you need tools to build and manage your infrastructure. Terraform from Hashicorp is one such tool that allows you to declare infrastructure as code in a simple, easy to understand language.
Managing your infrastructure as code bridges the gap between dev and ops and provides an opportunity to include infrastructure management as part of the development lifecycle. When environments are declared in code they can be shared and used across your organization to provide consistent environments that align with your production environment.
Managing infrastructure as code also provides a far more robust process for managing and tracking infrastructure since these processes can now be incorporated into CI/CD tooling and other automation processes.
In this course I will teach you the fundamentals of Terraform using Amazon Web Services as an example.Together we will walk through the basics of Terraform and ultimately create real infrastructure in AWSalong the way.
This course makes use of the AWSFree Tier which offers the general public a certain number of FREEcomputing hours and storage space for one year. It is recommended that students sign up for an AWSFree Tier account.
