Terraform Fundamentals [TERRA]

OVERVIEW

Terraform is one of the most popular tools from the American company HashiCorp and for good reason. Anyone dealing with a hybrid IT landscape or multi-cloud environment can use Terraform to provision IT infrastructure in a clear and structured way. The combination of the powerful HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and a vast array of providers for a variety of vendors makes Terraform a highly versatile tool for deploying Infrastructure as Code.

During this training you will learn the most important concepts of Terraform and gain experience in the hands-on lab on how to set up a (Linux-based) IT infrastructure.

This training is provided by the atypical open source gurus and includes an online lab environment that you can also use outside of the course. The only thing you need for this is a browser.
