Individually arrangedTraining: Terraform – Automating Infrastructure as Code Deployments in the Cloud
The “Terraform – Automating Infrastructure as Code Deployments in the Cloud” training is an intensive, hands-on workshop (80% practice, 20% theory) lasting 2–3 days. You will gain comprehensive knowledge of managing and automating cloud infrastructure using Terraform – the most popular Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. You will learn HCL syntax, creating and using modules, managing resource states, as well as integrating Terraform with the most popular cloud platforms (primarily AWS). The training helps improve deployment stability and scalability, facilitates teamwork, and automates the IT infrastructure lifecycle.
What You Will Learn
- The basics of Infrastructure as Code and how Terraform and HCL work
- How to declaratively create, import, and manage cloud infrastructure resources
- How to build and use modules for scalable, modular infrastructure
- Advanced state management techniques, integrating Terraform with CI/CD pipelines, and security best practices
- Hands-on experience with Terraform on AWS
Who is this training for?
Cloud architects, DevOps engineers, system engineers, and developers interested in Infrastructure as Code-
Administrators who want to automate and standardize cloud infrastructure management
-
IT teams looking to optimize deployment processes and ensure greater environment consistency
-
