What you'll learn

Defining infrastructure in code and automating its deployment helps improve operational efficiency and lower administrative overhead. In this course, Terraform: Validation and Testing, you'll build on your foundational knowledge of Terraform to create configurations that are more reliable and consistent. First, you'll discover how Terraform can use validation blocks to verify values for input variables. Next, you’ll explore how precondition and postcondition checks can make your deployments more reliable by checking assumptions and making guarantees. Finally, you’ll learn about the Terraform testing framework and how to write unit and integration tests for your configurations. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the knowledge required to take your Terraform configurations to the next level.
