AWS Infrastructure as Code With Terraform [2024 Updates]

This course teaches you how to use Terraform to manage AWS infrastructure as code. You start by understanding what Terraform is and how it works as an infrastructure automation tool for DevOps. The modules then move into Terraform basics, where you learn to write configuration files and understand core concepts like providers, resources, and state.

After the basics, the course focuses on Terraform with AWS. You learn to provision AWS resources using Terraform, which means writing code that creates and manages cloud resources automatically. The syllabus includes specific modules on using Terraform with AWS ECS, Fargate, and CodePipelines for continuous delivery. You also explore how Terraform works with Packer to create custom images and with Docker on AWS using ECS and ECR.

A key part of the course is preparing for the HashiCorp Terraform Certification. The lectures are aligned with the exam objectives, helping you understand the advanced features of Terraform that the certification tests. You also learn about the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform, which lets you define cloud resources using familiar programming languages.

By the end, you will be able to apply DevOps techniques using Terraform. You will understand how to use Terraform with AWS CodePipeline for continuous delivery and with AWS EKS for hosted Kubernetes. The course covers advanced module development, teaching you how to create reusable and maintainable Terraform configurations.

Honest limits: This course is designed for beginners. If you already know Terraform basics, much of the early content will be review. The course does not cover every possible AWS service — it focuses on the most common ones used with Terraform, such as ECS, EKS, and CodePipeline. Learners looking for deep dives into niche AWS services may need additional study. Those who want hands-on experience with Jenkins integration may find the coverage brief, as Jenkins is mentioned but not explored in depth.

If you are new to infrastructure automation, this course provides a structured path from Terraform basics to applying DevOps techniques with AWS. If you already have Terraform experience, you may want to skip to the advanced modules or look at the alternatives listed on the page, such as the Certified Kubernetes Administrator course or the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional course, which cover broader DevOps topics at similar price points.
