Requirements

The student should be aware on the basics of building Infrastructure on Azure
The student also have an Azure Account to work with Azure-based resources. The student can always create an Azure Free Account

Description

This course is meant to help students create a Terraform configuration to deploy an Azure resource group.

A lot of students have requested to have a course on how to use Terraform to work with Azure-based services. So here it is.

This course has 100+ Terraform configuration files and 10 Assignments

There is also a mini-project for an end-to-end implementation of an application hosting environment

In this course , we will learn a lot including the following

Some basic concepts when it comes to working with Terraform. We need to learn some important concepts when it comes to aspects such as Planning and applying Terraform configuration files.
We will focus on working with Azure Storage Accounts. We will see how to use various Terraform features to create dynamic configuration files when working with Azure services.
Along with looking at Azure Storage Accounts, we will work with Azure Virtual Machines. We will look at
- Creating the various components linked to an Azure VM
- How to manage data disks
- How to use custom script extensions
- Using the Azure Key vault to store the Administrator account password
- Using the Azure Bastion Host
- How to create multiple Azure Virtual Machines
- Making machines part of an Availability Set or an Availability Zone
Next we will focus on Azure Web Apps and Azure SQL databases. We will see
- How to create Azure Web Apps
- Deploy code from GitHub onto the Azure Web App
- Deploy an Azure SQL database
- Azure SQL Database auditing
- How to deploy Azure SQL Server Virtual Machine
Then we will move onto Azure Networking where we will cover
- Working with the Azure Load Balancer
- Using the Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
- Azure Public DNS Zones
- Working with the Azure Application Gateway
- How to work with Virtual Network Peering

Who this course is for:

This course is meant for students who want to know how to use Terraform to build Azure Infrastructure
This course will also help students learn about Terraform
