AT2021 AEL: Infrastructure as Code

Brief Description:

In this workshop, we’ll cover foundational knowledge of Hashicorp’s Terraform, a tool for infrastructure automation. First, we’ll discover how to create and update the basic configuration. Next, we’ll explore more complex use cases based on k8s providers and modules to better manage the deployments. Finally, we will learn how to integrate terraform in an infrastructure deployment pipeline using GitlabCI. When we’re finished with this session, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Terraform needed to write, plan, and create automated infrastructure deployments for Kubernetes workloads.
