Secure your cloud workflows by configuring AWS multi-factor authentication and managing access and secret keys, as you work with Packer, Terraform, Jenkins, and Vagrant in the AWS cloud.
Master AWS elastic load balancing and application load balancing, along with cleanup tasks, within an AWS cloud environment. Align these techniques with packer, terraform, jenkins, and vagrant workflows.
This comprehensive 5-in-1 DevOps and Cloud Automation course by EduArn | @TechTalkWithVinod is designed to give you real-world, hands-on experience with essential infrastructure automation and CI/CD tools used in modern cloud environments.
The course covers Packer, Terraform, Jenkins, Vagrant, and AWS Cloud integration, enabling you to understand how enterprises build automated, scalable, and repeatable infrastructure pipelines.
You will begin with Packer in depth, learning how to create custom machine images (AMI builds for AWS) using automated templates. You will understand image provisioning, build automation, and how Packer integrates with cloud providers to standardize infrastructure across environments.
Next, you will move into Terraform (Intermediate level), where you will learn Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts in real-world scenarios. This includes working with modules, variables, state management, remote backends, and building reusable infrastructure components on AWS Cloud.
The course also includes Jenkins job automation, where you will configure and manage multiple Jenkins jobs for CI/CD workflows. You will learn how Jenkins triggers builds, integrates with tools like Terraform and Packer, and automates deployment pipelines.
In addition, you will explore Vagrant for local and cloud-based environments, understanding how to create reproducible development environments and simulate infrastructure setups before deploying to AWS.
Finally, all tools are integrated within the AWS Cloud ecosystem, helping you understand real-world DevOps workflows used in production environments.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design and implement end-to-end infrastructure automation pipelines, combining image creation, infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD automation, and environment management using industry-standard DevOps tools.
