Course details
Terraform has become one of the most popular infrastructure-as-code tools in the world. For engineers and admins, learning to use Terraform in tandem with particular architectural disciplines, like cloud networking, is critical for building repeatable and reliable infrastructure. In this course, instructor William Collins dives into using Terraform to manage cloud network infrastructure with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Learners start by developing an understanding of the basic core principles of Terraform before progressing to hands-on exercises. Starting with simply creating a VPC, learners will progress to more advanced topics like creating subnets, looping through resources, using built-in functions, and leveraging Transit Gateway for intelligent network segmentation.
