Intermediate Terraform

The Intermediate Terraform training course will analyze the flexibility and power of Terraform. The course covers how Terraform can build and scale highly reliable infrastructure for environments. Using real-world examples, the course will cover how Terraform can be used to manage AWS applications. Applications as small as a few EC2 instances will be reviewed. Participants will also learn how Terraform can manage a massively distributed infrastructure that spans the globe.

The course begins with participants working on a project using Terraform project files. Participants will extend their project by using input variables and data sources. Next, participants will learn about error handling and built-in functions. The course concludes with participants creating loops and learning about variable manipulation.
