Terraform on Azure - Basic Tutorial

Course Overview

Course Overview:
This course will help you to build a basic foundation of Terraform on Azure. You will learn how to install Terraform, set up the environment path, install Visual Studio Code and its extension for Terraform, install Azure Command Line Interface (CLI), authenticate Azure using CLI to perform Terraform Deployment, understand Azure Provider details and how to search template in Terraform Azure Documentation, and execute Terraform init, plan, and apply commands.

Possible Development Directions:
After completing this course, you will have a basic understanding of Terraform and its usage on Azure. You can further develop your skills by exploring more advanced topics such as Terraform modules, Terraform workspaces, and Terraform state management. You can also learn more about the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and JSON to write more complex Terraform configurations.

Related Learning Suggestions:
To further develop your Terraform skills, you can explore other courses such as Terraform on Azure - Advanced Tutorial, Terraform on AWS - Basic Tutorial, and Terraform on AWS - Advanced Tutorial. You can also read books such as Terraform: Up and Running and Terraform: The Definitive Guide to gain a deeper understanding of Terraform. Additionally, you can join online communities such as the Terraform Community Forum and the Terraform Slack Channel to ask questions and get help from other Terraform users.
