Course Overview

In this course, we will examine Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and the technologies necessary for managing modern IT infrastructure, with a primary focus on Terraform and Ansible. We'll look closely at how Ansible and Terraform are implemented and explore their distinct roles in an organisation’s infrastructure.

In addition to covering the definition of Ansible roles and playbooks in depth, the course explores Terraform's core working principles, modules, states, life cycle of resources etc. We'll also look at how to use GitLab CI/CD capabilities for quick and efficient cloud infrastructure provisioning.These three tools collectively form a resilient infrastructure provisioning framework.

The course curriculum is includes a variety of daily and weekly assignments, each addressing real-use case scenarios. These assignments play a crucial role in allowing participants to grasp key concepts effectively. Moreover, they offer valuable hands-on experience in creating Ansible playbooks and Terraform scripts, reinforcing practical skills. Through these practical exercises, participants gain proficiency in deploying infrastructure solutions using these tools.

Why Infrastrucutre as Code is an Interesting Subject for IT Professionals and Enthusiasts

As organisations increasingly adopt containerisation and orchestration, professionals with Docker and Kubernetes skills are in high demand. Acquiring these skills enhances your marketability and opens up diverse career opportunities.

Building and implementing microservices-based architectures requires a solid understanding of both Docker and Kubernetes. They make it possible to divide large, complex applications into more manageable, smaller services, which promotes scalability, agility, and simpler maintenance.

Docker and Kubernetes play a pivotal role in CI/CD pipelines,allowing for the automated testing, integration, and deployment of applications. This accelerates the development lifecycle and ensures faster time-to-market.

Docker containers encapsulate applications and their dependencies, making them highly portable. With Docker and Kubernetes skills, you can develop applications that can run consistently across various environments, from development to production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an approach to managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable script files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools.

The IaC training course is designed for professionals with prior experience in Linux system administration and scripting. It is suitable for individuals seeking to enhance their skills in infrastructure provisioning using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and GitLab CI/CD.

Upon completion of the IaC training course, participants can expect to gain proficiency in managing cloud infrastructure, enhancing their career prospects as DevOps engineers, system administrators, or cloud architects.
