Explore Infrastructure as Code concepts without installing anything! This course is designed for beginning learners, providing a solid foundation of managing cloud resources using Infrastructure as Code techniques. Some of these techniques include: Ansible, Docker, Kubernetis, and Terraform. The modules in this course cover the configuration of containers, deploying those containers, and finally configuring the cloud. At the end of the course, learners will be able to directly implement these techniques to help them manage their own cloud resources.
