• Author, validate, and apply Terraform configurations using HCL to create and manage infrastructure.
• Use remote state backends (Azure Storage) and state locking to collaborate safely.
• Manage Azure virtual devices (VMs, Virtual Desktop components) and on-prem resources via Terraform providers.
• Implement modules, variables, workspaces, and best practices for reusable IaC.
• Integrate Terraform with CI/CD pipelines and automate infrastructure deployments.
• Apply basic security, secrets management, drift detection, and operational practices for IaC in hybrid environments.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Guided hands-on labs and live demonstrations.
• Capstone project to design and deploy a sample on-prem + Azure device environment using Terraform.
