HashiCorp Terraform Training
Introduction to HashiCorp Terraform
Gain an understanding of HashiCorp Terraform, a tool for infrastructure as code (IaC) that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. Learn about its purpose, core concepts, and benefits.
Getting Started with Terraform
Learn how to set up and configure HashiCorp Terraform. Understand the installation process, basic commands, and how to create your first Terraform configuration files to manage infrastructure resources.
Terraform Configuration Language
Explore the Terraform Configuration Language (HCL). Learn how to write and structure Terraform configuration files, define resources, and use variables, outputs, and modules to organize and reuse code.
Providers and Resources
Discover how to work with Terraform providers and resources. Learn how to configure providers for various cloud platforms and services, and define resources to manage infrastructure components.
State Management and Workspaces
Learn about Terraform state management and workspaces. Understand how Terraform tracks the state of your infrastructure, how to manage state files, and how to use workspaces for organizing and isolating environments.
Provisioning and Applying Configurations
Understand the process of provisioning and applying Terraform configurations. Learn how to execute Terraform commands to plan, apply, and manage infrastructure changes, and handle updates and rollbacks.
Modules and Reusability
Explore Terraform modules and best practices for code reusability. Learn how to create and use modules to encapsulate and reuse Terraform code across different projects and environments.
Advanced Terraform Features
Dive into advanced Terraform features, including dynamic blocks, data sources, and interpolation. Learn how to leverage these features for more complex and flexible infrastructure management.
Terraform Best Practices
Discover best practices for using HashiCorp Terraform effectively. Learn about version control, code organization, collaboration, and managing infrastructure security and compliance.
Integrating Terraform with CI/CD Pipelines
Explore how to integrate Terraform with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. Learn how to automate infrastructure provisioning as part of your deployment workflow.
Hands-On Labs and Projects
Engage in hands-on labs and projects to apply your knowledge of HashiCorp Terraform. Work on real-world scenarios to develop practical skills in designing, provisioning, and managing infrastructure.
