Course Objective & Scope

Manual changes made in cloud consoles or over SSH lead to environment drift and infrastructure that cannot be reliably rebuilt during an outage. This course teaches how to version, review and provision infrastructure just like application code.

HCL syntax with Terraform/OpenTofu, providers and remote state locking, module design, environment separation, `terraform test` and Checkov/OPA checks, alongside idempotent server configuration using Ansible playbooks and roles, are practised hands-on. Participants build a modular, CI/CD-driven IaC template tailored to their target environment.

Who Should Attend?

  • DevOps, cloud and system engineers provisioning cloud and data centre resources
  • Platform engineering teams building reusable infrastructure modules
  • Software architects automating test and application environments
  • Prerequisite: basic cloud/server concepts and Git familiarity

Key Takeaways

  • Provision networking, compute, Kubernetes and database resources declaratively with Terraform/OpenTofu
  • Configure remote state storage, state locking and sensitive variable handling securely
  • Author versioned, reusable IaC modules for consumption across teams
  • Complete OS and service configuration idempotently with Ansible playbooks and roles
  • Build a pull-request CI/CD workflow that runs plans, security scans and cost checks

Curriculum

IaC Approaches and Terraform / OpenTofu Foundations
  • Provisioning versus configuration management (using Terraform/OpenTofu with Ansible)
  • HCL, providers, resources, data sources, variables, outputs and locals
State Management and Resource Lifecycle
  • Remote backends (S3/Azure Blob/GCS), state locking and workspace/directory layouts
  • for_each, count, dynamic blocks, lifecycle rules and import/moved blocks
Module Design, Testing and Policy-as-Code
  • Designing and versioning reusable modules
  • tflint, terraform validate/test, Checkov and OPA/Sentinel policy checks
Server Configuration Automation with Ansible
  • Inventories, playbooks, tasks, handlers, Jinja2 templates and Ansible Vault
  • Role structure and idempotent OS hardening
Automated IaC Delivery with Git and CI/CD
  • PR-driven plan/apply workflows (Atlantis, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
  • Drift detection and enterprise IaC checklist
