Stop clicking around cloud dashboards. Start building reproducible, version-controlled, scalable infrastructure using Terraform, the industry standard for Infrastructure as Code.

This course takes you from first terraform init to real-world Terraform architectures with modules, best practices, and production workflows.

πŸ‘‰ Designed for Linux users, DevOps engineers, cloud learners, and sysadmins transitioning to modern IaC.

Most Terraform tutorials either stay too basic or jump straight into complex setups without building strong foundations.

This course does both. You don’t just learn commands. You understand the logic and design decisions behind Terraform infrastructure.

πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“ Who is this course for?

This course is built for people who want real skills, not just certificates:

  • Linux users who want to move into cloud & DevOps
  • System administrators shifting towards Infrastructure as Code
  • Aspiring DevOps engineers building their toolchain
  • Developers tired of manual server configuration
  • Anyone who wants to treat infrastructure like code (the right way)
βœ…
No prior Terraform experience required, but basic Linux command-line knowledge will help.

🧩 What you’ll learn in this course?

Chapter 1: Infrastructure as Code – Here We Go
Understand what IaC really means, why Terraform matters and how it fits into modern infrastructure.

Chapter 2: Getting Started – Your First Steps
Install Terraform, your first configuration, understanding providers, init, plan, and apply.

Chapter 3: Terraform Variables and Locals
Learn how to write reusable and parameterized configurations using variables and locals.

Chapter 4: Terraform State and Providers
Dive deep into state files, provider configuration, remote state, and dangers of bad state handling.

Chapter 5: Resources, Data Sources, and Dependencies
Understand how Terraform actually builds infrastructure graphs and manages dependencies.

Chapter 6: Count, For_Each, and Conditionals
Dynamic infrastructure with loops, conditional logic, and scalable configuration patterns.

Chapter 7: Dynamic Blocks in Terraform
Create flexible and advanced configurations using dynamic blocks.

Chapter 8: Terraform Modules – Building Blocks You Can Reuse Everywhere
Learn how to design, use, and structure modules like real production setups.

Chapter 9: Provisioners and Import
Handle legacy infrastructure, migration strategies, provisioners, and importing existing resources.

Chapter 10: Terraform Functions – Your Code’s Swiss Army Knife
Use built-in functions to manipulate data, strings, numbers, and collections.

Chapter 11: Workspaces, Null Resources, and Lifecycle Rules
Advanced control: multi-environment setups, resource lifecycle management, and more.

Chapter 12: Terraform Best Practices and Standards
The chapter that converts you from a Terraform user to a Terraform practitioner.
Folder structure, naming, workflows, and professional practices.

I built Living DevOps platform as a real-world DevOps education platform.

I’ve spent years building, breaking, and fixing systems in production. Now I teach what I’ve learned in my free time.

You’ll find resources, roadmaps, blogs, and courses around real-world DevOps. No fluff. No theory-only content. Just practical stuff that actually works in production.
