Thanks to the training, the participant will be able to:

• Define what the Infrastructure as Code approach is and state its advantages
• Indicate how the Terraform tool implements the Infrastructure as Code approach
• Install and configure Terraform
• Create and configure a new project
• Select and configure the Provider associated with the target infrastructure
• Create resource definition using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)
• Create, modify and delete resources using Terraform
• Manage the status of resources created by Terraform
• Parameterize the operations performed by the Terraform tool
• Create and use modules
• Use built-in HCL functions
• Create dynamic blocks when defining resources in HCL
• Create and manage Terraform Workspace
• Diagnose and troubleshoot Terraform performance issues

The training is intended for people whose work is related to the creation and management of cloud infrastructure and are interested in expanding their knowledge of Infrastructure as Code using the Terraform tool.

Training for: System engineers, DevOps teams

Training participants are required to know how the cloud infrastructure in which they want to use the Terraform tool works and the basics of using Linux operating systems.

The training is divided into modules including a theoretical part (lectures) and a practical part (exercises). During the theoretical part, the training participant acquires the basic and necessary knowledge to complete the practical part. The practical part is carried out on a remote platform and requires only a web browser.

2 days, 16 training hours

• Introduction to the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach
