A Cloud Guru
Do you love Terraform? Love the feeling of watching full-fledged systems molded from the clouds, dismantled on a whim? Are you excited to build bigger, better solutions in GCP with Terraform? If so, this course is for you. In it, we cover how to level up your Terraform code using modules, outputs, locals, and more to create robust, dynamic solutions. Then we look at Terraform functions to make your code more flexible, so you can write once, apply many times. Next, we put that to the test, automating your Terraform code in full CI/CD pipelines to support multiple environments from a single code base. Finally, we meet the HashiCorp family and look at some other DevOps and cloud management tools that can make sure that your Terraformed Google Cloud is the best it can be!
