Developing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform LiveLessons

4+ Hours of Video Instruction
 
Overview

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 previously made sense need to be re-examined. Developing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform LiveLessons 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. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) dissolves the boundaries between Dev and Ops to the point where infrastructure engineering is now a software development discipline. That's where this LiveLessons course comes in.

Description
 
Modern software development in the cloud has spurred myriad advances in efficiency for developers. Now, infrastructure engineers can leverage many of the same tools and practices to deploy reliable infrastructure. This course shows how to successfully integrate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) into your test and deployment pipelines.

This LiveLessons course introduces the philosophy behind IaC and covers how to implement IaC in your own environment using Terraform. Robert Jordan illustrates the critical tools and practices to successfully implement IaC in a collaborative production environment. Developers and Ops clientele will learn how to integrate IaC into test and deployment pipelines, how to enforce code review for infrastructure changes, and how to manage infrastructure change. The video combines PowerPoint slides, interactive web demonstrations, and code illustration.
