This course provides an introduction to using Terraform with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to manage infrastructure. Terraform is an open-source tool that allows infrastructure to be managed as code, providing a way to automate the deployment and management of resources in the cloud.
The course covers the basics of Terraform, including how to write Terraform code to provision and manage GCP resources such as compute instances, storage buckets, and network resources. It also covers best practices for managing infrastructure with Terraform and GCP.
By the end of the course, learners will have a solid understanding of how to use Terraform with GCP to efficiently manage infrastructure. This course is ideal for IT professionals, software developers, and system administrators who are new to Terraform and want to learn how to use it with GCP.
The target audience for Terraform with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) includes developers, DevOps engineers, and infrastructure administrators who want to automate the deployment and management of their infrastructure on GCP.
