About this course
This course develops practical capability in Advanced Terraform. Its course-specific content covers State architecture, Module engineering, Advanced expressions, Testing and policy, followed by an applied project focused on implement a tested multi-environment terraform design. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Advanced Terraform or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of infrastructure as code & automation and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Implement a tested multi-environment Terraform design
Deliver implement a tested multi-environment terraform design. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
