What you'll learn

Systems administrators and DevOp engineers have always been charged to do more with less. Defining infrastructure in code and automating its deployment helps improve operational efficiency and lower administrative overhead. In this course, Terraform: Getting Started, you'll learn foundational knowledge of Hashicorp's Terraform software, a toolset for infrastructure automation. First, you'll discover what infrastructure as code is and how Terraform implements it. Next, you’ll explore Terraform configuration files and the workflow for deploying infrastructure using Terraform. Finally, you’ll learn how Terraform state supports managing the full lifecycle of your infrastructure. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the base knowledge required to get started with using Terraform.
