IaC Foundation

Infrastructure as Code Foundation

About

This course provides the foundational knowledge required to design and implement an infrastructure and configuration management strategy. It starts by looking at cloud infrastructure — IaaS, PaaS, and some modern native app options — before moving on to look at Infrastructure-as-Code. You’ll learn what Infrastructure-as-Code means and the tools and technologies that are used to deploy and manage it.

Also, you’ll learn about some of the more common Infrastructure-as-Code tools and technologies: Terraform, AWS Resource Manager.
