What you need on the desk
- Terraform CLI (install from terraform.io)
- A cloud provider account (AWS/Azure/GCP) — optional, since most hands-on lessons use only the local provider
- A text editor/IDE (VS Code with the HashiCorp Terraform extension is recommended)
Know this much before you start
- Basic comfort with the command line/terminal
- A basic understanding of cloud concepts (servers, networks, databases)
- Optional: having already gone through a Docker/Kubernetes tutorial will help
By the end, you can
- Explain what Terraform is as an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool
- Read HCL syntax and write resources/variables/outputs
- Properly organize state, providers, and modules
- Apply remote backends, count/for_each, and dynamic blocks in production
- Safely handle sensitive data and debug drift/import issues
- Deploy a multi-environment infrastructure project using a production-ready checklist
