What you will learn in the course1:17
Master Terraform from basics to advanced concepts, including conditions, loops, data sources, templates, functions, and variables. Deploy Terraform scripts via Jenkins pipelines and integrate Ansible playbooks for end-to-end automation.
Introduction to Terraform And IAC1:56
Terraform automates infrastructure provisioning with infrastructure as code, enabling automated, reusable dev, test, and prod environments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and open source.
Install terraform on Mac1:29
Configure AWS IAM Access Key ID and Secret Access Key1:34
Create an AWS IAM user with programmatic and administrator access, configure its access key id and secret key on your laptop, set Mumbai region, and use JSON output for Terraform.
Install Atom and create project workspace1:43
Choose Atom as the editor for TerraForm code, install Atom on MacBook, and create a TerraForm workspace with the necessary packages, including TerraForm Fmt, with format on save.
Initialising Terraform Project1:44
Initialize a Terraform project by creating a providers.tf file with an AWS provider block, set the region to Mumbai, and run Terraform init to download AWS provider plugins.

Creating First AWS Resource5:08
Terraform Outputs and Interpolations2:27
Master Terraform outputs and interpolations to fetch the VPC CIDR block after apply, using the interpolation syntax: resource type dot attribute, and print the result to the console.
Terraform Local State File3:43
Terraform Remote State File5:12
Explore configuring Terraform to use an S3 remote state backend to enable multi-user collaboration, including bucket setup in Mumbai, init, state migration, and practices like versioning and encryption.
Terraform Locking Remoting State Files - Part-12:03
Terraform Locking Remoting State Files - Part-21:38
We demonstrate how S3 backend locking works behind the scenes by showing terraform init and apply with DynamoDB entries that track who holds the lock on the state file.
Terraform Variables and tfvars7:42
Terraform Workspaces3:00
Terraform Loops0:32
Terraform Conditionally create resource using count and ternary operator2:45
Learn to conditionally create a VPC in Terraform using count and a ternary operator, based on dev or prod workspace, so zero or one resource is deployed.
Terraform local variables2:33
Terraform Import command5:48
Terraform Import block ( version - 1.5.0)5:23
Terraform 1.5.0 introduces the import block to manage existing AWS resources in CI/CD pipelines, enabling VPC import, state mapping, and automated apply via Jenkins.

Create Vpc2:59
Terraform Auto Generate CIDR blocks7:37
Create Public Subnet2:15
Create Public Subnet - Continued - Data Sources - cidrsubnet function8:39
Create Public Subnet - Continued - Internet Gateway0:53
Create Public Subnet - Continued - Route Table Creation1:22
Create Public Subnet - Continued - Subnet Association3:11
Create Private Subnet3:47
Enable Subnet Settings Fot Auto Assigning Public Ip0:58
Configure NAT Instance7:45
Configure NAT Instance - Security Group2:49
Configure a nat security group to control outbound traffic for private subnets, open to the internet with all ports and all protocols, then attach the group to the nat instance.

Launch EC2 In Public Subnet8:22
Launch EC2 In Public Subnet - Userdata Script2:09
Launch EC2 instances in a public subnet and deploy a web server via a user data script, including Apache setup and index.html, and understand Terraform's reaction to user data updates.
Create S3 Bucket1:48
Attach IAM Role to EC2 and Terraform Template9:06
Create Security Groups - Attach to EC23:44
ELB - With Security Group6:11
Deploy an elastic load balancer in front of two EC2 web servers using Terraform, configure VPC subnets and security groups, and expose port 80.
EC2 Key Pair3:14
Create and manage an EC2 key pair with Terraform, generating a public key with ssh-keygen and embedding the key name in the web EC2 instance for secure SSH access.

Create RDS Instance2:53
Configure a Terraform-based RDS instance with MySQL, handling backend setup, using variables instead of hardcoding sensitive data, pass passwords at runtime, and suffix configurations with the current Terraform workspace.
Create Private Subnet Group for RDS2:34
RDS - Configure Security Group2:04
Configure an RDS security group with TCP ingress on port 3302, allowing traffic from web application security groups or CIDR blocks, keep egress open, noting MySQL default port is 3306.
RDS - Automated Backups And Minor Version Upgrades1:01
Enable automated daily backups with a 1:00 to 1:30 backup window, assign security group IDs to security groups (not CIDR blocks), and disable auto minor version upgrades, which occur weekly.
RDS Autoscaling Storage1:05
Enable RDS storage auto scaling beyond the initial 20 gb as utilization increases. Execute provisioning, monitor the dashboard, and verify that the database, subnet groups, and security groups are created.

ALB Create Traget Group3:00
Learn to use an application load balancer to route traffic to target groups of EC2 instances via listeners by port or path, and to create and attach target groups.
ALB Attach Instances to Traget Group2:20
Crate ALB2:20
ALB - Attach Listners2:38
ALB Access Logs - Create S3 Bucket1:17
ALB Configure S3 Bucket Policy5:33
Configure an ALB to deliver access logs to an S3 bucket by setting a bucket policy, using Terraform templates to dynamically interpolate the bucket name at runtime.
ALB Access Logs - End2:56
