Description

Terraform is most popular Infrastructure as code tool as it supports more than 100 providers including AWS , Azure ,Google and many. This course will take you from basic to advance  and helps you understand key concepts with lab demonstration. In few lectures and detail lab demonstrations , you will start writing your first terraform code, all the way up to deploying cluster of web servers in Auto Scaling Group with a load balancers. You will have lot of lab demonstration so that you can practice on your own. Designed for SRE ,  DevOps and developers and managers. You will learn key concepts , such as terraform state , modules , workspace, data resource and can apply in your project immediately. Terraform allows you to automate  and  version the infrastructure . Terraform module makes this infrastructure as code tool really stands from others in the market. Terraform function provides  best developer experience to write efficient code. We will have fun with all of these terraform key features. You will learn how to work  Organization m workspace , VCS , runs in  Terraform cloud and what is the difference with Terraform Enterprise. Bonus : Prepare you for HashiCorp Certification - Terraform Associate Course is designed to teach students with no prior knowledge in AWS or Terraform.  All the used AWS technology in example have been described in detail.
