Course overview

An infrastructure-as-code course building real cloud environments with Terraform. The course treats state as the central concept: how Terraform records reality, what drift is, and how teams share state safely. Modules, variables, outputs and workspaces are used to build a reusable environment definition.

Learners provision a multi-tier environment and then reproduce it in a second region from the same modules.

Who it is for
  • Cloud and DevOps engineers
  • System administrators automating builds
  • Platform teams standardising environments
  • Developers managing their own infrastructure
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform and basic command line.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
Final project
Multi-Tier Environment as Code
