AWS Terraform Masterclass: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Tutorial for Beginners

Описание: Ready to move beyond the AWS console? This is your complete, hands-on masterclass in Terraform, the industry-leading Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool from HashiCorp.

In this tutorial, we cover everything you need to start defining, provisioning, and managing your AWS infrastructure using simple, repeatable code—not manual clicks. We demonstrate how to create resources like an EC2 instance and an S3 bucket entirely through code.

What you will learn in this video:

➤ IaC Fundamentals: Understand why Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is essential for scalability, auditability, and team collaboration.

➤ Terraform Installation: Step-by-step guide to installing the Terraform binary and setting up environment variables on a local machine.

➤ Configuration: Learn the structure of a Terraform file (.tf) and how to define the AWS Provider and target region.

➤ Authentication & Security: Best practices for creating a dedicated IAM user and generating the necessary Access Keys and Secret Keys for Terraform to interact with your AWS account.

➤ Core Commands: A comprehensive guide to the four essential Terraform commands:
terraform init: Initialize the working directory and download provider plugins.
terraform plan: Preview the execution plan before making any changes.
terraform apply: Provision or modify resources on AWS.
terraform destroy: Quickly tear down all provisioned resources.

➤ State Management: Learn about the critical terraform.tf state file and how Terraform uses it to track your infrastructure and detect configuration drift
