Do I need prior Terraform experience for this course?

Basic command-line skills and some cloud experience are recommended. The course starts with Terraform fundamentals but quickly progresses to advanced topics like multi-provider deployments, modules, and custom providers.

Which cloud provider is used in the exercises?

The primary exercises use AWS, but Terraform's multi-provider approach is covered extensively. You'll learn to work with AWS, VMware, DNS, Kubernetes, and other providers, making the skills transferable to any cloud platform.

Will I learn both Terraform CLI and HCL in depth?

Yes. The course covers HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) in detail — variables, expressions, functions, counters, and files — as well as all essential CLI operations like init, plan, apply, destroy, import, and more.

Is the course delivered live or is it pre-recorded?

The course is delivered live and online. You can interact with the instructor in real-time, ask questions via chat or audio, and participate in hands-on exercises. Video recordings are provided after the course for review.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes, all participants receive a shareable online certificate of attendance. You can also take an optional 1-hour exam, with your score printed on the certificate.

Terraform Course: Expand Your Knowledge

About the Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform Course

This workshop consists of two days spent on improving your skills of cloud infrastructure provisioning with the help of mighty Terraform. By using declarative language (HCL) to describe cloud resources, you will learn how to efficiently connect the dots of complex cloud configurations: servers, load balancers, keys, firewall rules, storage, base images, CDNs, lambda functions and many more. State management and sharing with the help of workspaces and external storage engines will allow you to create identical environments from the same code base and ensure their consistency over time. Organizing code base, orchestrating cluster deployments, implementing reusable modules are only few topics that are going to be touched during this extremely pragmatic and practical workshop based on trainer's real-life experience managing complex cloud environments.

What You'll Learn in This workshop

Define catalog of cloud resources
Integrate with provisioning and configuration management tools
Use Terraform workspaces for multiple environment built from the same template
Create multi-provider configurations to unite heterogeneous infrastructure
Create reusable Terraform modules
Write custom Terraform providers
