Description of the Terraform Training Course
Terraform has become an essential standard for automating the deployment and management of cloud or hybrid infrastructures. Its declarative approach allows you to version your infrastructure, share it, and maintain it using the same best practices as for application code.
You will learn how to define your resources, deploy them securely, and then integrate them into a CI/CD pipeline for consistent and reproducible management of your cloud environments.

Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
This training course is part of our DevOps Training Courses. Discover our complete DevOps offer to go further in automation, CI/CD and infrastructure industrialisation.
objectives of this Terraform Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Understand the key concepts of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.
- Write, version control, and reuse modular Terraform code.
- Deploy resources on different providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
- Use backends, workspaces, and state management rigorously.
- Integrate Terraform into CI/CD pipelines for complete automation.
- Apply best practices for security, testing, and collaboration.
Prerequisites
- Proficiency with command line (Linux/Mac/Windows).
- Basic knowledge of cloud. administration (AWS, Azure, etc.).
- Basic knowledge of scripting or system configuration.
- Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Ideal for DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud administrators, or developers involved in operations.

FAQ – Terraform Training
What is Terraform?
Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It lets you describe cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, SaaS) in versioned HCL files and then provision it reproducibly via plan and apply. MFE-IT introduces Ops and DevOps teams to Terraform so they can industrialise their deployments.
What is the difference between Terraform and Ansible?
Terraform focuses on the declarative provisioning of infrastructure (creating VMs, networks, databases) while Ansible is more about configuration and application orchestration (installing packages, configuring services). The two are complementary: Terraform creates the infrastructure, Ansible configures it. The MFE-IT training positions each tool.
How should you structure a Terraform project?
Best practices include: splitting into modules, remote state storage (S3, Azure Blob, Terraform Cloud), locking, using workspaces or per-environment folders, separating variables and secrets, and testing (terraform validate, plan, tflint, checkov). MFE-IT shows how to kick off a maintainable project.
How long does the Terraform Initiation training at MFE-IT last?
The training lasts 2 days (14 hours), either remotely or in-person, with a maximum of 3 participants per session and 30 days of post-training support included.
