A Crash Course on Terraform

Overviews, discussions, and live demos that cover everything you need to learn Terraform best practices for real-world usage.

Produced by Gruntwork

We wrote the book on Terraform, created one of the most popular open source companion tools to Terraform, wrote the definitive guide to AWS, and build and maintain best-practices infrastructure for dozens of software teams worldwide using industry-leading DevOps tools. Now we've taken all our expertise and experience and shared it in this course!

What's Included

Get up and running quickly with Terraform by learning the syntax of HCL, how to manage state, how to package infrastructure into reusable Terraform modules, how to fit Terraform into your CI/CD workflow, best practices for using Terraform as a team, and the gotchas that often trip up beginners. For more detail, scroll below to see the full curriculum.

Always Up to Date

DevOps tools evolve pretty fast, and training materials are almost always out of date. That's why we've taken a different approach with our training. Since we plan to focus exclusively on a narrow set of popular DevOps tools and technologies, we're committed to keeping this course up to date by continually updating the content to reflect the latest best practices.

We already discover the best practices by working with dozens of companies to setup their infrastructure on AWS with Terraform, so having an "authoritative" place where all our insights are recorded and kept current helps keep us sane.

Happy terraforming!

Sincerely,
Gruntwork
