This course provides an introduction to using Terraform for Google Cloud. It enables learners to describe how Terraform can be used to implement infrastructure as a code and to apply some of its key features and functionalities to create and manage Google Cloud infrastructure. Learners will get hands-on practice building Google Cloud resources using Terraform.

 

What you'll learn

  • Define the business need for infrastructure as code and the benefits of using it in your environment.
  • Explain the features and functionalities of Terraform.
  • Use Terraform resources, variables, and output values to create Google Cloud infrastructure resources.
  • Use Terraform modules to build reusable configurations.
  • Explain Terraform state and its importance.

 

Audience

Cloud engineers, DevOps engineers, and individuals who want to start using Terraform to automate infrastructure provisioning with a focus on Google Cloud Platform
