The actual course content may differ from the above depending on the trainer, delivery, duration and the composition of participants.

Goal

After this course, you will be able to effectively create and manage Azure resources with Terraform. You will have gained in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in serverless architectures, containers, AKS, Azure database technologies, Storage Services, and in implementing CI/CD with Azure DevOps.

Duration

2 Days

Format

The course is well structured and consists of theoretical explanations and practical exercises. You will be accompanied by an experienced trainer who can answer questions related to the topics of the course.

Target group

This course is aimed at developers, system administrators, and cloud professionals who want to learn how to effectively utilize Azure with Terraform, as well as anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of serverless architectures, containers, AKS, and Azure database technologies.

Prerequisites

Participants should have a basic understanding of cloud computing concepts and experience with command-line interaction. Prior knowledge of Azure and/or Terraform is helpful but not strictly necessary.

Preparation

Every participant will receive a questionnaire and a preparation checklist after registration. We provide a comprehensive laboratory environment for each participant, so that all participants can directly implement their own experiments and even complex scenarios.

More about Azure Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud platform on which Terraform enables declarative and reproducible infrastructure management. In addition to Terraform, Azure provides its own IaC tools such as Bicep and ARM templates, which are deeply integrated into the Azure ecosystem. This training provides the knowledge needed to professionally automate Azure resources with Terraform.

History

Microsoft Azure launched in 2010 and quickly grew into one of the leading cloud platforms. To automate resource provisioning, Azure introduced ARM templates (Azure Resource Manager) early on – JSON-based configuration files that were often considered complex and difficult to read. As an alternative, Bicep was developed as a domain-specific language that greatly simplifies working with ARM templates.

In parallel, Terraform established itself as a cloud-agnostic alternative and became the tool of choice for many teams due to its multi-cloud support. Today, Terraform is one of the most widely used tools for managing Azure infrastructure in production environments.
