Terraform on AWS Training Course
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides infrastructure for building applications in the cloud. Terraform, created by Hashicorp, is a tool for managing that infrastructure. The combination of AWS and Terraform make managing highly complex, production-grade servers and applications practical, efficient, and even enjoyable.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Terraform on AWS to plan and build cloud infrastructure.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Terraform on AWS.
- Implement an "infrastructure as code" approach to managing AWS cloud environments.
- Create, launch, and dismantle infrastructure from within a single tool.
- Write declarative configuration files that can be managed like any other source code in a version control system.
- Quickly update configuration files for effectively responding to changing compute resource needs.
- Collaborate with other infrastructure engineers by sharing configuration files in a common code repository.
- Improve transparency in the infrastructure procurement process.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

So in my mind, we walked out of those three days with the building blocks and knowledge to build just about anything in AWS with Terraform. Not only can we build it, but we can test it, and validate our terraform against best practices and setup pull requests hooks to validate code before allowing it to be checked in.
Bernard Quick - AWS, Inc.
Course - Terraform on AWS
- After two years of mainly virtual communication, training etc. it was great to have a course on site again togehter with the whole team - Additionally to theory and lab excercises it's very valuable to see the teacher doing stuff live as well, including all mistakes he might do. This greatly helps to getting an idea of how one should work with a tool, get help, debug etc.
