Terragrunt for Beginners

This course is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of Terragrunt, a powerful tool that enhances Terraform by ensuring configurations are DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and simplifying remote state management. This course is ideal for those who have a foundational understanding of Terraform or OpenTofu and are looking to streamline and scale their infrastructure as code practices with Terragrunt.

Throughout the course, participants will delve into the core concepts and functionalities of Terragrunt, exploring how it can be configured to manage infrastructure more efficiently. From basic usage to advanced techniques, this course covers essential topics to help you master Terragrunt.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with Terragrunt’s built-in functions, blocks, and attributes. Practical demonstrations and exercises will provide valuable insights into configuring Terragrunt, managing remote state, and creating and managing Terraform modules with Terragrunt. The course will culminate in a real-world project, where participants will build and deploy an AWS infrastructure using Terragrunt.

Course Objectives: By the end of this course, participants will have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to:

• Understand the core concepts and benefits of using Terragrunt with Terraform.
• Configure Terragrunt effectively to manage complex infrastructure environments.
• Utilize essential Terragrunt commands and built-in functions.
• Work with Terragrunt blocks and attributes to enhance infrastructure configurations.
• Manage remote state efficiently with Terragrunt.
• Create and manage reusable Terraform modules using Terragrunt.
