The Complete Terraform with Ansible Bootcamp

Learn Terraform's plan, apply, and destroy workflow—from init to deployment—reviewing anticipated resources, authentication, and the role of state/estate files in tracking deployments.

Learn how to declare and install Terraform providers and initialize with Terraform init. Manage single or multiple cloud providers, understand provider plugins, and pin provider versions to ensure stable deployments.

Use variables in Terraform configuration files to manage secrets securely, make configurations environment independent, and prevent credentials from entering git repos.

Provision software on AWS instances using Terraform, create key pairs and security groups, upload install scripts, and install and start engine X on each instance via remote exec.

Leverage Terraform data sources to fetch dynamic values such as availability zones and AMIs at runtime, then apply them to select the right zone and image for instances.

Explore output attributes in Terraform lab, declare outputs for public IP, capture private IP with local-exec to a file, and review outputs after apply.

Learn how Terraform remote state uses remote backends to store and lock state, enabling safe plan and apply, isolation across environments, and encryption in transit and at rest.

Provision elastic block store (EBS) in AWS via the cloud console and attach it to a running EC2 instance; use a 30 GB gp2 volume and preview Terraform integration.

Explore AWS RDS basics, a managed relational database service offering automatic backups, patching, and auto failover with high availability, plus setup steps for subnet, security, parameter groups, and Terraform.

Create AWS IAM roles and policies with Terraform to grant S3 bucket access, attach roles to EC2 instances, and verify access by uploading files from the instance.

Master EC2 autoscaling by configuring auto scaling groups, launch configurations, and scaling plans to automatically adjust instances, maintaining health, optimizing costs, and meeting demand.

Learn to create a local path module for a custom VPC, define variables in a module, and apply environment-specific VPCs using the same module in separate development environments.
