About How to automate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (2025 Edition)

Master Terraform and OpenTofu on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) – Build, Automate, and Scale Your Cloud Infrastructure Like a Pro!

Terraform has long been the industry-standard tool for implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), but with the rise of OpenTofu, the open-source alternative to Terraform, you now have even more flexibility in building and automating your cloud environments. This comprehensive course, part of the FoggyKitchen Cloud Learning series, is designed to take you from a beginner to an expert in using Terraform and OpenTofu to manage and scale infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

What You’ll Learn:

Automate the creation of OCI resources like Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs), Subnets, and Compute Instances.

Dive into advanced topics like Load Balancers, File Storage Services, Databases, and Network Security Groups (NSGs).

Master complex configurations, including VCN peering and cross-region DataGuard.

Understand Terraform and OpenTofu syntax, modules, input variables, output values, and state files to manage infrastructure efficiently.

Use data sources in both Terraform and OpenTofu to integrate new and existing OCI resources seamlessly.

Modularize your code to create scalable and reusable infrastructure setups.

Why This Course?

We’ll start from scratch by setting up a single Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), Subnet, and Compute Instance, and progressively build up to deploying enterprise-grade solutions. You’ll gain hands-on experience with both Terraform and OpenTofu, equipping you with versatile skills to adapt to any IaC scenario. By the end of this course, you’ll have the expertise to tackle real-world infrastructure challenges on OCI with confidence. This course also aligns closely with the objectives of the OCI Associate certification exam, making it an excellent resource for exam preparation while providing valuable, practical experience. It also serves as the foundation for a broader learning path developed by FoggyKitchen, including advanced modules covering hybrid OCI–Azure environments, networking interconnects, and multi-cloud automation strategies.

Who Is This Course For?

Whether you’re a cloud enthusiast, system administrator, cloud architect, developer, or an IT professional looking to expand your expertise in OCI, this course is perfect for you.

Hands-On Learning Experience

Gain confidence with Terraform, OpenTofu, and OCI Resource Manager through detailed, step-by-step lessons and hands-on exercises. You’ll learn by doing, ensuring that the skills you acquire are immediately applicable in your job or projects.

Beyond This Course

After completing this training, you’ll be ready to take on more complex scenarios — such as hybrid OCI–Azure networking, remote peering, and interconnect deployments — as explored by the instructor in other advanced projects within the FoggyKitchen Cloud Learning series.
