Terraform on Azure

Terraform allows you to write your cloud setup in code. If you have used Azure before, you’ll know that setting up your infrastructure using the Azure Portal (the Web UI) is far from ideal. Terraform allows you use Infrastructure as Code, rather than executing the steps manually by going through the correct steps in the Azure Portal.

This course will teach you how to write HCL, the HashiCorp Configuration Language, to bring up your infrastructure on Azure. Terraform is cloud agnostic, so the terraform skills learned in this course are easily transferrable to other cloud providers. After teaching you the terraform basics, the course will continue setting up simple architectural patterns, like VMs, to get you used to how terraform works. Once you have a good feeling of how you can use terraform, we dive a bit deeper into the possible Azure Services you can spin up, like Autoscaling, LoadBalancing, MSSQL & MySQL, CosmosDB, Storage Accounts, Azure AD, and others. Also covered is advanced terraform usage, like using remote state, for/foreach loops, and conditionals/functions.

Our mission is to ensure you can start using terraform with Azure in your organisation to automate the provisioning of cloud infrastructure. After taking this course, you’ll have a solid basis of Terraform and Azure!
