Description

Throughout this course, learners will be immersing themselves in the essential principles of managing infrastructure through code, with a primary focus on OpenTofu. This course is tailored for absolute beginners, with no prerequisites required.

This course is thoughtfully divided into two parts to accommodate varying levels of expertise. The first part is tailored for beginners, individuals who may be unfamiliar with Infrastructure as Code, Terraform, or OpenTofu. Here, we'll start from the ground up, ensuring a solid foundation before progressing further.

In the first part learners will learn about:

  • Basics of OpenTofu like the Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL), Providers and Variables
  • Resource attributes and Dependencies
  • OpenTofu State
  • OpenTofu Commands, Datasources, Meta-arguments and Version constraints
  • OpenTofu Provisioners
  • Importing, Tainting and Debugging resources in OpenTofu
  • Creating and using OpenTofu Modules
  • OpenTofu functions and conditional expressions

For those who are already well-versed in Infrastructure as Code and Terraform, we have the second part of the course, aptly named OpenTofu: Beyond Basics. This section is designed to challenge and expand your understanding, delving into advanced concepts and the latest updates in OpenTofu.

In this part learners will learn about

  • Need for the Genesis of OpenTofu
  • Core features and advantages of OpenTofu
  • Why should you use OpenTofu instead of Terraform?
  • Features of OpenTofu v1.7.0
  • Migrating existing Terraform configuration to OpenTofu
  • Emerging trends in Infrastructure as Code and OpenTofu's role
  • And more

This course will also have an environment that’s perfectly designed to practice what is taught in the previous videos. Browser-based hands-on labs open up right in the browser and will help the learners go from watching a video to gaining hands-on practice within a few seconds.
