With the increasing complexity of the public cloud, infrastructure as code with software development practices has become the recommended way to manage the cloud. Terraform is an open-source, cloud-agnostic tool that enables Cloud and DevOps Engineers to automate and maintain infrastructure with a powerful machine-friendly but human-readable syntax. This course contains a series of hands-on labs that will teach you how to build infrastructure using Terraform. An IDE browser is provided in each lab to write and deploy the Terraform code. Complete the challenge at the end to validate your Terraform skills.
