Terraform Associate

Master Infrastructure as Code. Provision, update, and destroy cloud resources declaratively using HashiCorp Terraform and HCL.

Clicking in consoles is not scalable. Terraform is the industry standard for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This course teaches you to define cloud resources in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). You will master the workflow (Init, Plan, Apply, Destroy), manage state files securely, and create reusable modules. We cover provisioning resources across AWS, Azure, and other providers, ensuring your infrastructure is version-controlled and reproducible.
