Training objectives and skills

The aim of the training is to familiarize participants with the topic of automating the creation and management of cloud infrastructure using the Terraform tool and the Infrastructure as Code approach.

In the theoretical part of the training (lectures), participants will gain knowledge about how the Terraform tool works and its functions enabling the implementation of tasks related to the automation of the creation and management of cloud infrastructure. The practical part of the training (exercises) will be carried out on the Linux platform and will allow training participants to check and understand exactly how the Terraform tool works.

The purpose of the training is not to familiarize participants with the operation of the cloud infrastructure within which the training will be carried out.

Skills

• 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
