Terraform is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows you to build, change, and version infrastructure safely and efficiently. This includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. Terraform can manage both existing service providers and custom in-house solutions.
Overview
Systems Administrators and DevOp Engineers have always been charged to do more with less. Defining infrastructure in code and automating its deployment helps improve operational efficiency and lower administrative overhead. In this course, Terraform – Getting Started, you’ll learn foundational knowledge of Hashicorp’s Terraform software, a toolset for infrastructure automation. First, you’ll discover how to create and update a basic configuration. Next, you’ll explore how to use provisioners, functions, and providers to expand your deployment.
Finally, you’ll learn how to leverage abstraction and improve code reuse with variables, state files, and modules. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Terraform needed to write, plan, and create automated infrastructure deployments.
