Look inside
Terraform simplifies the cloud. It defines infrastructure as code (IaC) that can be easily shared, maintained with version control, and reliably tested.

In this liveProject, you’ll join up-and-coming startup Cloudesk as its new DevOps engineer. Cloudesk is struggling to handle its cloud resources manually, and have hired you to manage its current and future cloud resources using Terraform code. Your challenges will include importing manually created resources, working with Terraform resources in accordance with compliance requirements, and managing the conversion of legacy systems. When you’re finished, you’ll have hands-on experience with Terraform management that will let you confidently handle Terraform in any size organization!
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
