How to create production-grade Azure Infrastructure Code using Terraform

Azure Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

Project-focused format so you know how to deploy resources in Azure

Description

Learn how to create production-grade Azure Infrastructure Code using Terraform in this project-focused hands-on course. Follow along as you learn Terraform and put theory into practice by solving challenges.


We go over what Terraform is and why it’s a highly sought-after skillset. We’ll also go over how to set up Azure CloudShell so we can dive right into developing with Terraform in Azure straight away.


In the first section you'll learn:

  • What is Terraform?

  • Getting Started with Azure CloudShell

  • How to setup your projects to follow along


Learn the fundamentals of Terraform by creating a configuration file and deploying resources into Azure. We’ll also explore the most common ways to authenticate with Azure using the Azure Provider and discuss creating resource dependencies within the Terraform configuration.


Here's what you'll learn about Terraform Configurations:

  • Terraform Configuration Files

  • Authenticating with the Azure Provider

  • Terraform Init, Plan, and Apply

  • Using Interpolation within Terraform Configurations


Understanding how Terraform state works is a critical component for building Terraform solutions, which is why we’ll be going deep into how the state file keeps track of changes made with Terraform.

Here's what you'll learn about Terraform State:

  • Why does Terraform need to keep track of state

  • Examine the inter-workings of the state file

  • Storing the state file centrally using remote state

  • Retrieve output from Terraform state


Variables allow Terraform modules to take in input making configuration files dynamic. Infrastructure code can be templatized and re-used throughout different environments.


Here's what you'll learn about Terraform Variables:

  • Create variable blocks in Terraform configurations

  • Input values into Terraform configurations using several methods

  • Learn about the common variable types


Terraform modules split up infrastructure into small, testable components that make it easy for infrastructure developers to introduce changes in small amounts. Learn how to easily create modules and use them with source control.


Here's what you'll learn about Terraform Modules:

  • Create a module

  • Pass data between modules

  • Learn how to use modules from GitHub

  • Learn about the Terraform Registry


HCL is a functional language that allows infrastructure developers to create loops and conditional logic within Terraform code. This allows a high levels of abstraction to be created for deploying infrastructure.


Here's what you'll learn about HCL:

  • Functions, conditions, loops and expressions

  • Dynamic blocks within Terraform resource blocks

  • Creating resources that scale with count

This course did very well in bringing me up to speed with Terraform, being fast-paced without wasting any time. It deals exclusively with Azure, which is what I wanted. You don’t need to set up anything other than the Azure Cloudshell to be ready to go. Good course.

Great Into course! There were some parts where I wish there was a little more information on what certain values meant. One example was understanding the different types of data sources wish we talked a little more about other possibilities as opposed to just using for remote state.

From basic to some pretty intricate configuration techniques. However, some infrastructure terms/jargon are used in the beginning. Thus, it might not be suited for someone with little to no exposure to infrastructure terms.

Very good course. I had no experience with Terraform prior to this and this was a good introduction to get me started.

You are absolutely amazing expert !!! Thank you for this course !! It was short but intense. The tips and the examples are super beneficial. Thank you !! I've been using ARM templates only and this Terraform course just opened my eyes on how efficient and powerful is the Terraform and how much time I wasted without it.

Every thing is covered from basics to advance level with respect to usage of terraform. If some one wants further understanding of specific usage, they can always go to Terraform documentation for better understanding.
