Terraform on GCP (Google Cloud Platform) Training Course
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides infrastructure for building applications in the cloud. Terraform, created by Hashicorp, is a tool for managing that infrastructure. The combination of GCP and Terraform make managing highly complex, production-grade servers and applications practical, efficient, and even enjoyable.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Terraform on GCP to plan and build cloud infrastructure.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Terraform on GCP.
- Implement an "infrastructure as code" approach to managing private and public cloud environments.
- Create, launch, and dismantle infrastructure from within a single tool.
- Write declarative configuration files that can be managed like any other source code in a version control system.
- Quickly update configuration files for effectively responding to changing compute resource requirements.
- Collaborate with other infrastructure engineers by sharing configuration files in a common code repository.
- Improve transparency in the infrastructure procurement process.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
