Terraform 102 - Managing Azure Infrastructure with Terraform
As enterprises scale and modernize their Microsoft Azure environments, managing infrastructure manually becomes inefficient and error-prone. This course introduces Terraform, HashiCorp’s open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, and focuses on using Terraform to provision, manage, and version Azure cloud resources in a safe, repeatable, and automated way.
Participants will gain hands-on experience writing Terraform configuration files using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), managing Terraform state, and deploying real Azure infrastructure. The course explains Terraform’s core workflow, modules, variables, loops, dynamic blocks, and integration into enterprise CI/CD pipelines. Learners will also understand when Terraform is the appropriate IaC tool compared to alternatives such as Ansible.
In addition, the course incorporates AI-assisted workflows, demonstrating how Large Language Models (LLMs) can accelerate Terraform development by generating configuration snippets and jumpstarting solutions.
