Operation teams currently have to deal with their own infrastructure and/or several clouds in parallel. This poses major challenges for many companies.
Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code open source tool that can be used to overcome these challenges. It helps to efficiently manage and automate the infrastructure, regardless of the underlying platform or cloud provider.
Terraform is based on its own declarative configuration language, the Terraform Language. It is used to describe the desired cloud or local infrastructure. A plan for achieving this desired state is then created and executed to provide the infrastructure. Terraform can adapt or delete components just as efficiently.
In this Terraform course, you will learn about the architecture and functionality of Terraform. The aim is the efficient use of the Terraform Language and the optimal structuring of the code in the form of modules. We will introduce you to the examples using practical exercises. Get to know one of the most popular open source automation tools currently available in this Terraform training course!

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
