Terraform on Azure 2021

About Terraform on Azure 2021

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
