Cloud computing has revolutionized the IT industry over the past decade. Now that the dust is settling, IT professionals are beginning to realize that the roles, responsibilities, and practices that made sense need to be re-examined. This course lays out the road ahead and teaches cutting edge tools and practices to quickly bring existing skills up to date or to jump start a novice career.

Modern software development has spurred myriad advances in efficiency for developers; now infrastructure engineers can leverage many of the same tools and practices to deploy reliable infrastructure. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) dissolves the boundaries between Dev and Ops even further to the point where infrastructure engineering is now a software development discipline.

Developing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Second Edition illustrates the critical tools and practices to successfully implement IaC in a collaborative, production environment. You will learn how to integrate IaC into your test and deployment pipelines, how to enforce code review for infrastructure changes, how to manage infrastructure change, and many more topics. It covers all new features and software updates in Terraform with the latest updates in the technology.
