About Course

Terraform in Practice refers to the real-world application of Terraform, an open-source tool by HashiCorp, used for implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This course is designed for intermediate-level DevOps engineers looking to apply Terraform to build and manage infrastructure in cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Through a combination of interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, and live-lab implementation, participants will gain the skills to write and manage Terraform configurations, automate infrastructure provisioning, and integrate Terraform with CI/CD pipelines for team collaboration.

Course Objectives

• Understand Terraform and IaC fundamentals.
• Write and manage Terraform configurations effectively.
• Automate infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Terraform.
• Utilize advanced Terraform features like workspaces and modules.
• Integrate Terraform with CI/CD pipelines and Terraform Cloud for collaborative workflows.
