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: State Fundamentals, you'll build on your foundational knowledge of Terraform to better understand the role of state data. First, you'll discover how Terraform uses state to create execution plans. Next, you’ll explore the various state commands and how to resolve drift. Finally, you’ll learn about migrating state to a remote location and how to use Terraform workspaces. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the knowledge required to take your Terraform configurations to the next level.
