Training Agenda

Terraform

Terraform is the infrastructure-as-code tool for provisioning and managing cloud resources through declarative HCL configuration. It tracks infrastructure state, plans changes before applying them, and works across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hundreds of other providers through a unified workflow. This training covers Terraform from fundamentals through production-grade module design and CI/CD integration.

2 days On-site, remote, or hybrid Up to 20 participants German or English
What We Cover
From first provider to multi-environment modules
Day 1

Fundamentals & Provider Configuration

  • Terraform architecture: Providers, resources, data sources, state — how Terraform models infrastructure
  • HCL syntax: Blocks, arguments, expressions, locals, variables — writing readable configurations
  • Providers: AWS, Azure, and GCP provider configuration — authentication and version pinning
  • State file management: Local vs remote backend (S3, Azure Blob, GCS) — why remote state matters
  • The terraform workflow: init, plan, apply, destroy — the daily operational loop
  • Workspaces: Managing multiple environments with Terraform workspaces
  • Import: Bringing existing infrastructure under Terraform management without recreation
Day 2

Modules, State & CI/CD

  • Module structure: Inputs, outputs, versions, published modules — designing reusable infrastructure components
  • Terraform Registry: Consuming and publishing community modules with version constraints
  • Remote state data sources: Sharing state across stacks with terraform_remote_state
  • State locking with DynamoDB or Azure Blob: Preventing concurrent state corruption in teams
  • Sensitive outputs and variable handling: Keeping secrets out of state and plan output
  • Terraform Cloud and Atlantis: Team-based workflows with plan previews in pull requests
  • CI/CD integration: Terraform in GitHub Actions and GitLab CI with approval gates
  • Terragrunt patterns: DRY multi-environment configurations with Terragrunt
Learning Outcomes
