Automating Enterprise Infrastructure - Terraform and Packer

🌟 **Automating Enterprise Infrastructure - Terraform and Packer 🌟

Course Headline: A Complete Course on Infrastructure Automation using AWS CLI, Terraform, and Packer with Shell Scripting as a Wrapper.

Welcome to the definitive course on building Enterprise Grade Infrastructure! Our journey through the world of infrastructure automation will be guided by the powerful tools from HashiCorp: Terraform and Packer. 🛠️

Key Details:

• Latest Version Supported: Terraform 0.11.8 & AWS Provider v1.39.0
• Continuous Updates: The course content will be regularly updated to reflect the latest features of Terraform and Packer.
• Reference Material: This course serves as an Terraform Automation Reference, especially if you're already familiar with Terraform basics. Dive straight into the sections that matter to you, and I'll provide code examples on GitHub for your convenience.

About this Course:

• Terraform Fundamentals: Get a grasp of Terraform's core concepts, including its syntax, interpolation, and more.
• Terraform CLI Mastery: Understand how to use the Terraform Console, visualize your infrastructure with Terraform Graph, format your code neatly, and much more.
• AWS Infrastructure Automation: Learn step-by-step how to set up critical AWS resources such as S3 buckets, EC2 instances, VPCs, and more using Terraform.
• Dynamic Resource Management: Explore how to manage multiple AWS environments using TFVAR files and scale your infrastructure with the help of count parameters and Elastic Load Balancers (ELB).
• State Management with Terraform: Dive into remote states and learn how to maintain a history of your infrastructure changes.
• Terraform Modules: Discover the power of modules in building reusable architectural components like AWS ELB.
• Packer Introduction: Understand Packer's role in automating the creation of machine images for various platforms.
• Integration of Terraform and Packer: See how these two tools can be used together to streamline your infrastructure provisioning process.
• Security and Service Discovery: Automate security measures using HashiCorp Vault, and set up Consul clusters for service discovery.
• Kubernetes on Steroids: Automate the deployment of Kubernetes (EKS) clusters with Terraform.
• Automation Mindset: Learn how to combine AWS CLI, Shell Scripting, Packer, and Terraform to develop a robust automation mindset.
