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.

What our students say

I'm not a security specialist, but I have realized that the course explains very well every topic and you can use the labs in every lesson to practice. It's a hard certification but using this course I could learn every element step by step and test myself if I was ready using the exam simulators, and I was great because the simulators are very close to a real exam! using this course I got the certification in my first attempt!

Thank you so much Mumshad Mannambeth for the awesome course, I couldn't find better than yours. These courses are well designed with awesome practice labs and have more than the required content to learn and pass the Kubernetes exams. Not sure how you are managing them with these much of low cost.

... Thank you Mumshad Mannambeth and the team for your contribution to computer education. If all training programs were like yours, there won't be a movement called #womanintech....

Thanks KodeKloud for amazing Kodekloud Engineer site ! You are guys the future of IT education ! Special thanks for Mumshad Mannambeth for the best Kubernetes training and amazing KodeKloud labs.
