Objetives
1. Understand infrastructure as code (IaC) concepts
- Explain what IaC is
- Describe advantages of IaC patterns
2. Understand Terraform's purpose (vs other IaC)
- Explain multi-cloud and provider-agnostic benefits
- Explain the benefits of state
3. Understand Terraform basics
- Handle Terraform and provider installation and versioning
- Describe plugin based architecture
- Demonstrate using multiple providers
- Describe how Terraform finds and fetches providers
- Explain when to use and not use provisioners and when to use local-exec or remote-exec
4. Use the Terraform CLI (outside of core workflow)
- Given a scenario: choose when to use
terraform fmt
to format code - Given a scenario: choose when to use
terraform taint
to taint Terraform resources - Given a scenario: choose when to use
terraform import
to import existing infrastructure into your Terraform state - Given a scenario: choose when to use
terraform workspace
to create workspaces - Given a scenario: choose when to use
terraform state
to view Terraform state - Given a scenario: choose when to enable verbose logging and what the outcome/value is
5 Interact with Terraform modules
- Contrast module source options
- Interact with module inputs and outputs
- Describe variable scope within modules/child modules
- Discover modules from the public Terraform Module Registry
- Defining module version
6a Describe Terraform workflow ( Write -> Plan -> Create ) 6b Initialize a Terraform working directory (terraform init) 6c Validate a Terraform configuration (terraform validate) 6d Generate and review an execution plan for Terraform (terraform plan) 6e Execute changes to infrastructure with Terraform (terraform apply) 6f Destroy Terraform managed infrastructure (terraform destroy)
7 Implement and maintain state
7a Describe default local backend 7b Outline state locking 7c Handle backend authentication methods 7d Describe remote state storage mechanisms and supported standard backends 7e Describe effect of Terraform refresh on state 7f Describe backend block in configuration and best practices for partial configurations 7g Understand secret management in state files
