Mastering Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform

Build, Test, and Deploy Infrastructure using Terraform, Docker, Learn IaC best practices for stability and quality.

What you'll learn
- Implement the core Terraform workflow (init, plan, apply, destroy) to provision and manage cloud infrastructure using a Docker-standardized environment.
- Securely manage sensitive data by utilizing Terraform sensitive flag and injecting secrets at runtime via environment variables, adhering to IaC best practices
- Ensure resource scalability and configuration consistency across environments using advanced Terraform loop constructs (count, for_each, and dynamic blocks).
- Perform essential IaC maintenance by managing Terraform state using workspaces and validating code quality with static analysis tools (validate, TFLint, graph)n

Requirements
- No prior Infrastructure as Code (IaC) or Terraform experience is required! We start with the fundamentals. The only requirements are: Basic Command Line Interface (CLI) knowledge (how to navigate folders). A working laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux) capable of running Docker Desktop.

Description
This comprehensive course takes you from foundational concepts ofInfrastructure as Code (IaC)to building, testing, and managingproduction-grade infrastructureusing the industry-standard tools:TerraformandDocker.

What You Will Master:

IaC Fundamentals:Learn to manage infrastructure lifecycle (plan, create, update, destroy) using the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) for consistent, repeatable deployments.

Containerization with Docker:Master defining and deploying containerized services, learning how to manage dependencies between your containers and your infrastructure layer.

Advanced Quality Assurance (QA) & Stability:ImplementStatic Code AnalysisusingTFLintto enforce code quality. You'll learn how to detect crucial issues like:

Missing stability attributes (e.g., required_version).

Structural inconsistencies (e.g., missing variables and outputs files).

Anti-patterns (e.g., using non-specific tags like nginx:latest).

Visual Debugging & Dependency Mapping:Use theterraform graphcommand to generate visual dependency maps. This is essential for understanding complex resource ordering, troubleshooting dependency cycles, and confidently presenting your architecture.

Modular Design:Learn to break down large projects into reusableTerraform Modulesto maximize efficiency and minimize code duplication.

By the end of this course, you will possess the full skill set necessary to design, deploy, and maintain robust, scalable, and fully tested infrastructure in any cloud environment. This is a must-have course for aspiring or current DevOps, Cloud, or Platform Engineers.

Who this course is for:
- Developers looking to take control of their cloud environments.
- SysAdmins and Operations Engineers transitioning to a modern, automated approach.
- University Students - who wants to learn Infrastucture as Code
- Entry-Level Developers / SysAdmins - They have enough CLI experience and basic cloud awareness to grasp the concepts and benefit from the Docker-standardized lab.
- DevOps Engineers / IT Architects - They need the specific, advanced content on State, Loops, Security (secrets), and Testing to formalize their skills and improve team collaboration/code quality.
- Aspiring Cloud Professionals aiming to master a critical in-demand skill.
- Anyone who wants to build, manage, and scale their cloud infrastructure with confidence.
