Deploy Infra in the Cloud using Terraform

Learn how to apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform. Covers Web Apps, Database, VM, Kubernetes and Azure.

What you'll learn
Automate infrastructure deployment to the cloud
Create Terraform templates
Working with the "Execution Plan"
Sharing and locking the State file
Deploy into dev/test and production
DevOps CI/CD pipelines for Terraform
GitOps with Atlantis
Creating and deploying Web Apps, Databases, VMs, Storage, Kubernetes clusters
Deploy to multiple cloud platforms using Modules
Troubleshooting Terraform
Applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Requirements
Basic cloud services
Description
Terraform is becoming the standard when it comes to deploying infrastructure into the cloud or on premise.

In this course you will learn how to create and deploy Terraform templates.

We will work with the different Terraform commands like init, plan, apply and destroy.

We'll explore terraform features like input and output parameters, the execution plan and the remote backend state.

We'll write templates for Web Apps, SQL Database, VMs, Storage, Kubernetes clusters and many more.

We'll create the DevOps CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and Github Actions to deploy into multiple environments: dev, test and prod.

Then we'll implement GitOps for Terraform using Atlantis.

Along all these demonstrations you'll also learn the Best practices in terms of security, configuration and scalability.

I hope you are ready and excited for this journey!

Bring a coffee and lets get started.
