Syllabus

Introdução ao curso

Esta seção apresenta aos participantes o curso "Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure" e mostra uma visão geral da estrutura e dos objetivos.

Introdução ao Terraform para Google Cloud

Este é um módulo de introdução sobre a importância do Terraform para as empresas. Vamos começar com uma visão geral do conceito básico do Terraform, a infraestrutura como código (IaC, na sigla em inglês). Depois vamos conferir como o Terraform pode ser usado como uma ferramenta de IaC no Google Cloud e também os recursos e benefícios dele. Por fim, vamos saber como ele transforma linhas de código em infraestrutura real no Google Cloud.

Termos e conceitos

Neste módulo, vamos fazer uma introdução à linguagem HashiCorp e conversar sobre os termos e conceitos envolvidos na criação de uma configuração do Terraform. Vamos conhecer alguns dos comandos mais importantes do Terraform envolvidos no gerenciamento da configuração do Terraform. Ao final do módulo, você saberá interpretar o que cada bloco de código significa, criar arquivos de configuração básica no Terraform e explicar a finalidade de alguns comandos importantes dele. Além disso, também vamos abordar a ferramenta Terraform Validator.

Como escrever o código de infraestrutura para o Google Cloud

Neste módulo, você vai saber mais sobre recursos, variáveis e recursos de saída. Vamos começar descobrindo como criar componentes de infraestrutura com os recursos e depois saber como o Terraform gerencia as dependências nos recursos. Apesar de já termos abordado a criação de recursos com argumentos codificados, você vai entender como é possível parametrizar uma configuração usando variáveis. Em seguida, você vai aprender qual sintaxe declarar, definir e usar na configuração. Depois, vamos conferir como exportar atributos do recurso fora da declaração usando valores de saída. Para encerrar, vamos explicar como simplificar a criação de código usando o Terraform Registry e o Cloud Foundation Toolkit.

Usar os módulos do Terraform para organizar e reutilizar configurações

Você vai conhecer os módulos, como eles podem ser usados em um registro público ou para reutilizar configurações, bem como parametrizar configurações usando variáveis de entrada. Você também vai aprender a usar valores de saída para acessar os atributos de recursos fora do módulo.

Introdução ao estado do Terraform

Este módulo começa com uma introdução ao estado do Terraform. Em seguida, você vai aprender sobre as diferentes maneiras de armazenar esse estado. Mais adiante, você vai descobrir os benefícios do armazenamento do arquivo de estado em um local remoto. Mesmo que existam vários locais remotos onde é possível armazenar o arquivo de estado, este módulo descreve o armazenamento em um bucket do Google Cloud Storage. Ao final do módulo, você vai aprender práticas recomendadas para trabalhar com arquivos de estado.
