In this session, we'll introduce you to the fundamental concepts of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Learn why Terraform is crucial for managing infrastructure and how IaC streamlines provisioning.

Get your hands dirty by installing Terraform on both MacOS, Linux and Windows. We'll guide you through the process with clear instructions and commands.

Dive into AWS integration with Terraform. You'll learn how to set up your AWS credentials and configure the AWS provider within Terraform to start provisioning resources.

Start writing actual Terraform code with a simple example. Learn about the basic structure of a Terraform configuration file and how to define resources using the HCL language.

Understand the lifecycle of terraform. What is terraform init, plan and apply.

Take your skills up a notch by provisioning an EC2 instance on AWS using Terraform. Explore attributes like instance type, AMI, and tags to customize your instance.

Understand the importance of Terraform state files. Learn about desired and current states, and how Terraform manages these states to ensure infrastructure consistency.

Deepen your knowledge of providers and resources. Explore the role of different providers for various cloud platforms and understand how resources define infrastructure components.

Discover the power of variables for dynamic configurations. Learn how to define, declare, and utilize variables effectively. Explore outputs to retrieve and display essential information.

Elevate your configurations with conditional expressions, adding logic to your code. We'll introduce you to Terraform's built-in functions for tasks like string manipulation and calculations.

Master the art of debugging Terraform configurations.Plus, learn why proper formatting with terraform fmt is crucial.

Unlock the potential of reusability with Terraform modules. Understand how modules enable you to create shareable and organized infrastructure components.

Simplify complex expressions using local values. Dive into data sources and learn how to fetch data from existing resources or external systems, enhancing your configurations' flexibility.

Explore the versatility of using variables within modules to customize their behavior. Learn how inputs work within modules and the benefits they offer.

Utilize module outputs to access critical information or propagate data to your root configuration. Learn how to make your modules more informative and useful.

Embark on a journey through the Terraform Registry. Discover pre-built, community-contributed modules and learn how to incorporate them into your own configurations.

Collaborate effectively using Git and version control. Grasp fundamental Git commands such as cloning, pulling, and pushing repositories to enhance teamwork.

Tackle security challenges associated with sensitive data in version control. Explore the importance of .gitignore to exclude sensitive files from being committed.

Uncover the role of Terraform backends in remote state storage. Learn why they're essential for maintaining infrastructure state and configurations.

Get hands-on experience configuring an S3 bucket as a backend for remote state storage. Understand how this setup improves collaboration and state management.

Dive into state locking and the prevention of concurrent updates. Implement state locking using DynamoDB as a backend mechanism, ensuring state consistency.

Learn about provisioners, mechanisms for executing actions on resources during creation and destruction. Understand how they facilitate customization.

Differentiate between remote-exec and local-exec provisioners. Explore how remote-exec provisions actions on remote servers, while local-exec performs tasks locally.

Discover when to use provisioners during resource creation or destruction. Configure provisioners within resource blocks to execute specific actions.

Gain insights into handling provisioner failures. Learn about retry mechanisms, timeouts, and the on_failure attribute to control provisioner behavior on failure.

Understand the concept of workspaces and their role in managing different environments. Learn how workspaces aid in isolating configurations.

Learn how to create new workspaces and switch between them using terraform workspace commands. Understand their significance in environment management.

Learn deeper into how workspaces streamline environment management. Comprehend their benefits in maintaining separate state files for various settings.

Gain an overview of HashiCorp Vault, a powerful tool for secret management and data protection. Understand its significance in maintaining secure configurations.

Learn how to integrate Terraform with Vault to manage sensitive data securely. Discover how Vault can be used to store and distribute secrets within configurations.
