Introduction to Terraform
- Developer Infrastructure Engineer Systems Administrator DevOps
Training Overview
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an approach for managing the lifecycle of all resources and services within an infrastructure. It enables automated, consistent, and reproducible deployments (idempotence).
Terraform is a tool in this category that has become a standard in the ecosystem. It facilitates deployment operations across numerous providers (public and private clouds, Kubernetes, etc.). It offers a declarative approach, using templates to describe the target infrastructure without needing to specify individual operations.
This introductory training allows you to explore Terraform’s use, its prerequisites, and key features.
