Terraform with Azure

Terraform with Azure offers a thorough framework for utilizing Terraform to efficiently provision, manage, and maintain Azure infrastructure. Participants will gain hands-on experience with Terraform's Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities, enabling them to automate Azure resource deployments, ensure scalability, and maintain version control. The course covers essential topics such as setting up Terraform, writing configurations, managing state, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines.

By taking this course, learners will enhance their skills in automating Azure resources using Terraform. They will be able to create fully automated Azure infrastructure deployments, diagnose and resolve configuration issues, apply security configurations, and implement cost management strategies. This course ensures that participants are well-equipped to handle real-world scenarios and optimize their Azure environments.

Throughout the course, participants will learn to create reusable Terraform modules, set up automated CI/CD pipelines, and design complex Azure networking architectures. The course also emphasizes proper security configurations, compliance strategies, and effective state management using Azure Blob Storage. With a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical labs, learners will be able to confidently apply Terraform best practices in their Azure projects.
