Book Description

As cloud technology and automation evolve, managing infrastructure as code, integrating security, and handling microservices complexity have become critical challenges. This book takes a hands-on approach to teaching Terraform, helping you build efficient cloud infrastructure using real-world scenarios and best practices.

It begins with an introduction to Terraform's architecture, covering its command-line interface and HashiCorp Configuration Language. You’ll learn best practices, architectural patterns, and how to implement Terraform across virtual machines, Docker/Kubernetes, serverless environments, and cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. The book also covers integrating Terraform into CI/CD pipelines with other technologies to automate infrastructure provisioning and management.

Additional chapters focus on security, monitoring, troubleshooting, and cost optimization. You'll also gain insights into preparing for the Terraform Associate certification. By the end, you’ll have the skills to build, automate, and manage cloud infrastructure effectively.
