Terraform training - Learn Cloud and Container Orchestration with Terraform

Course Description

Get practical Terraform training and learn Terraform configurations, providers, and backends and learn how to orchestrate and provision containers in an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environment.

Course objectives

Cloud orchestration with Terraform aims to equip learners with practical skills in using Terraform for comprehensive infrastructure management and application deployment in a real cloud environment. After completing our cloud training course, and hands-on labs, you will be able to:

• understand fundamental concepts that are important in a Terraform context, such as configurations, variables, providers, and backends.
• use Terraform to interact with an OpenStack IaaS environment, and create, modify, and delete resources in a reproducible, configuration-driven fashion.
• use OpenStack Swift as a shared-state repository for Terraform (using a Terraform backend), and work on Terraform configurations collaboratively in a group.
• use Terraform’s OpenStack provider to interact with OpenStack Magnum, and deploy and manage a Kubernetes cluster from Terraform.
• use Terraform’s Kubernetes provider to, in turn, interact with this Kubernetes cluster, and manage application deployments from Terraform, via the Kubernetes API.

Terraform training – dates and next sessions

We provide all our courses as monthly course runs to ensure quality control. A course seat purchase automatically invites you to the current course run regardless of when you make the purchase. The course content will remain available in your account, but access to labs expires on the 7th of the following month. Please plan your seat purchase to ensure that you have enough time to complete the course and labs before access to the labs expires.
