Terraform – automating Infrastructure as Code deployments in the cloud
The “Terraform – Automating Infrastructure as Code Deployments in the Cloud” training is an intensive, hands-on workshop (80% practice, 20% theory) lasting 2–3 days.
Ideal for teams that…
Cloud, automation and CI/CD in practice — hands-on for engineering teams.
The basics of Infrastructure as Code and how Terraform and HCL work
How to declaratively create, import, and manage cloud infrastructure resources
How to build and use modules for scalable, modular infrastructure
Advanced state management techniques, integrating Terraform with CI/CD pipelines, and security best practices
Hands-on experience with Terraform on AWS
What we actually do
- · Day 1: Introduction to Infrastructure as Code and Terraform Basics Module 1: Introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Terraform IaC concepts and benefits – comparing traditional vs declarative models Terraform architecture and HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) syntax Installing and configuring the Terraform environment Module 2: First Steps with Terraform – Creating Resources and Managing State Creating basic resources, declaring providers and resources State file management, locking mechanisms, local and remote backends Resource dependencies, basic functions, variables, and outputs
- · Day 2: Modules, Resource Import, and Best Practices Module 3: Terraform Modules – Creating and Using Module structure, parameterization, reusability, and versioning Organizing infrastructure with modules Practical module-building exercises Secure state file handling with locking and access control considerations Module 4: Importing Existing Resources and Lifecycle Management Importing resources into Terraform and syncing state Lifecycle rules – controlling creation, deletion, and modification of resources Using the target flag and dynamic conditions Best practices for modular, secure code – code reviews, automated testing, integration with version control
- · Day 3: Cloud Integration and CI/CD Automation Module 5: Working with Terraform on AWS Configuring access and authentication for Terraform in AWS Provisioning AWS resources – networking (VPC, subnets), compute (EC2), storage (S3), IAM Practical resource deployments using Terraform Module 6: Terraform in CI/CD Pipelines and Team Collaboration Integrating Terraform with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) Terraform Cloud and remote backends – collaboration, state management, and automation Introduction to collaboration tools like Terragrunt and Terraform Atlantis Security – secret management and access policies
