Terraform allows you to create and manage resources across cloud platforms and services using providers that interact with their respective APIs. In this course, you'll learn about the components of Terraform modules and how to use them to provision resources. First, you'll study the components of modules, including module blocks, sources, and meta-arguments. Then, you'll explore the Terraform Registry. This contains both providers and modules that facilitate provisioning resources on platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub, Splunk, and Datadog. The Registry also includes SaaS applications and on-premises infrastructure. So, to complete the course, you'll use modules in real world scenarios including local modules and modules from the Terraform Registry to provision resources on Amazon Web Services. Upon completion, you'll be able to define Terraform modules, provision environments on AWS using Terraform modules, and use sample repositories.
