Course details
Terraform is an infrastructure management tool that lets you manage and maintain your servers, networking, storage, and more in one centralized set of code. In this course, learn how to use Terraform to manage resources on Google Cloud and take advantage of the benefits of infrastructure as code. Instructor Josh Samuelson guides you through setting up a Terraform code repo using GitHub, shows you how to use Google Cloud with Terraform, and takes you through setting up a workspace in Terraform Cloud using your GitHub repo and Google Cloud credentials. Learn how to explore state files, make changes to your Terraform code, use reusable modules, and clean up your infrastructure when you're done. If you’ve found your Google Cloud infrastructure lacking, join Josh in this course to make sense of it by managing your infrastructure in code.
