Infrastructure as Code

Overview

As virtualization has become commonplace, various tools have emerged that treat virtualized infrastructure as code.

This course introduces learners to

  • The concepts behind Infrastructure as Code (IAC)
  • The benefits of automating infrastructure deployment and the tools that make it possible
  • Real-world scenarios that build practical skills with multiple automation tools, and dig deeper with Terraform and Ansible in hands-on labs.

This course features hands-on labs performed on a 3-node cluster hosted within CENGN’s private cloud infrastructure. Labs build on each other to demonstrate how multiple tools are used in real-world scenarios.

This training package includes one attempt for the CENGN Infrastructure as Code exam. Those who successfully complete the exam will earn a CENGN Infrastructure as Code digital badge, which can be posted on LinkedIn and other social media.
