This specialization offers a complete learning journey to master Terraform for automating cloud infrastructure. The first course covers the foundational aspects of Terraform, introducing its architecture and essential utilities, setting the groundwork for learners to efficiently manage cloud infrastructure. The second course deepens learners' understanding by diving into cloud infrastructure with Terraform, focusing on virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes, and automation through GitOps and CI/CD. Finally, the third course brings all the concepts together and focuses on managing multi-cloud environments using Terraform. Learners will gain hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, covering EC2, Kubernetes, serverless solutions, and strategies for importing and managing production environments. The specialization progresses from fundamental knowledge to advanced production-level management, preparing learners for real-world cloud automation challenges. This specialization is based on the book, Mastering Terraform, Mark Tinderholt .
