Welcome to Hands-On Introduction to Infrastructure as Code with Terraform. I’m Lucas, a tech lead working in an international team, with a passion for helping beginners break into tech by learning modern tools through real, hands-on practice.

In this course, you’ll learn Terraform from scratch and build your confidence with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — a key skill in DevOps, cloud engineering, and automation.

We’ll start with the basics: installing Terraform, setting up your AWS credentials, and understanding what Terraform actually does. Then, we’ll move on to real infrastructure: launching EC2 instances, creating S3 buckets, and organizing your code with variables, outputs, functions, and conditionals.

You’ll also learn how to:

• Format and validate your code

• Use count and for_each to scale resources

• Understand and manage state

• Write clean and reusable modules

• Leverage powerful, community-built modules from the Terraform Registry

All lessons are short, focused, and based on real-world use cases. This course is perfect for beginners who want to get hands-on with cloud infrastructure and for developers who want to learn Terraform the right way.

No prior Terraform experience needed — just curiosity and basic AWS knowledge would be a plus.

Let’s demystify Terraform, step by step by learning today and let’s take the first step toward becoming confident in Infrastructure as Code!

Who this course is for:

• Beginners in DevOps, cloud, or backend development
• Developers who want to automate infrastructure with code
• Anyone curious about Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform
• Students and professionals preparing for cloud or DevOps roles
