Terraform with AWS [GK840252]

OVERVIEW

Learn to automate AWS infrastructure with Terraform.

Terraform with AWS is designed to give you practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform in AWS environments. You'll start with the basics of Terraform and AWS services, then move on to more advanced topics like state management, workspaces, and integrating Terraform into CI/CD pipelines. By the end of the course, you'll know how to use Terraform to manage AWS resources like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and VPCs, ensuring your cloud infrastructure is scalable, reliable, and version-controlled.

You'll get practical experience with the Terraform CLI, learn how to integrate Terraform with key AWS services, and understand best practices for managing multi-environment deployments. Included are labs and demos to help you apply what you've learned in real-world scenarios.

By taking this course, you'll gain the skills needed to efficiently provision, manage, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform. You'll be able to automate workflows, implement security and compliance measures, and troubleshoot configurations, making you a valuable asset to any organization looking to leverage IaC for cloud infrastructure management.
