Description

By the end of this course:

   you will master one of the most popular Infrastructure Provisioning and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, which is Terraform
   you will be able to use Terraform confidently in your projects
   you will know all the core concepts and components of Terraform language
   if you follow along the demos, you will have solid practical experience with Terraform
   you will know the fundamental AWS networking concepts and how to create AWS resources using Terraform

You will learn all the concepts with practical examples by automating the AWS infrastructure. AWS is the most used cloud provider and using Terraform with AWS is the most common combination used in projects, so knowing how to automate AWS infrastructure gives you an advantage in the DevOps job market!

Why learn from me:

   You will learn Terraform step by step and simply explained!
   Thousands of students (checkout @Techworld with Nana on Youtube) love the way how I explain complex concepts in an easy way, so that everyone can understand it.
   I’m both an educator and a practitioner. All my knowledge is based on real projects that I have worked in or consulted
   Learn from a Docker Captain

Core concepts you’ll learn:

   Providers – Connect with remote cloud providers and systems
   Resources and Data Sources – Create and fetch resources
   Terraform Commands – Terraform CLI
   Changing and destroying Resources
   Terraform State
   Output Values
   Input Variables – Parameterize your Terraform Configuration to make it re-usable
   Environment Variables in Terraform
   Provisioners in Terraform – Prepare server
   Terraform Modules – Modularize your Terraform Project and use existing Modules from Terraform Registry

In the main demo project you’ll learn:

   how to setup a git repository for your Terraform project
   how to create the main AWS networking resources: VPC, Subnet, Route Table, Internet Gateway, Security Group
   how to create and prepare a EC2 server instance, install Docker and start a Docker container on it
   & more

Throughout the course:

   you will learn best practices
   we will use Git to manage our configuration code, which is a best practice in Infrastructure as Code.

See the lecture description for even more information of what you will learn and what we will build.

   Anyone who wants to learn Terraform from scratch and be confident using it
   Anyone who wants to learn how to automate infrastructure using the most popular Infrastructure as Code tool
   Anyone who wants to learn how to use Terraform to automate AWS infrastructure
   DevOps Engineers, System Administrators, Software Developer
   Anyone who wants to add an extremely valuable tool of automating infrastructure creation and management to their skillset

Requirements

   Linux basics like shell and SSH
   NO AWS knowledge required, I explain the AWS Services which we create in this course
   You will need to set up an AWS Account (you can use the free tier) – Links to step-by-step guides in the lecture resources
