Terraform has gained a lot in popularity lately and is the tool you need to master if you are or about to get into an Ops / DevOps role. The demand for DevOps engineers is skyrocketing because few people have these skills and the value they add to a business’s bottom line is so high.
Software development is expensive, and DevOps saves money by automating and streamlining the process. It also makes it easier to deploy more frequently, so you can catch issues early and improve the reliability of your product or service. Not to mention it saves hundreds of hours of manually administering servers and running deployments (like the good old days).
In this course, you’ll learn how to use Terraform to automate your infrastructure. I will first show you the basics of Terraform and will then explain how to automate infrastructure on AWS using terraform. You can open an AWS account for free to do the labs. I also provide a lot of code examples that you can immediately use to automate your own infrastructure.
Managing infrastructure as code also provides a far more robust process for managing and tracking infrastructure since these processes can now be incorporated into CI/CD tooling and other automation processes.
