Description

Welcome to the course is on building Enterprise Grade Infrastructure using Hashicorp tools - Terraform and Packer.

This course is build on latest Terraform Version : 0.11.8 and AWS Provider Version : v1.39.0.

I will keep on updating this course as new features of Terraform and Packer are released .

You can also use this course as an Terraform Automation Reference material . If you know the basics of Terraform then feel free to directly jump to the relevant section . I will also push and update code to GitHub for your ready reference .

Terraform supports 100+ Providers so it's easy to support multiple cloud providers using same IaC ( Infrastructure as Code ) tool.

We will be mainly covering AWS provider to start with .
