About Course

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides robust cloud infrastructure for building and scaling applications. Terraform, developed by HashiCorp, is a powerful tool for managing this infrastructure through an “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC) approach. Combining AWS and Terraform enables engineers to efficiently manage complex, production-grade environments.

This instructor-led, live training—available both online and onsite—is designed for engineers who want to master Terraform on AWS. Through a series of interactive lectures, practical exercises, and live-lab implementations, participants will learn how to plan, build, and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform.

Course Objectives

• Install and configure Terraform on AWS.
• Implement an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach to managing AWS cloud environments.
• Create, launch, and dismantle infrastructure using Terraform.
• Write and manage declarative configuration files in version control systems.
• Quickly update configurations to meet changing compute resource needs.
• Collaborate effectively with other engineers using shared configuration files.
• Improve transparency in the infrastructure procurement process.
