Description:
Cloud technologies are everywhere these days, and demand for people able to work with these technologies is growing every day. Terraform, an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that is effective and efficient in managing cloud resources. It allows you to build, change and version infrastructure efficiently and safely. In this course you will learn about using the Hashicorp language syntax and how to use it to configure and manage cloud resources. You will also understand about how terraform manages and maintain resource states.
