Learning Outcomes

What you'll learn

You will be able to write a complete Terraform 1.7 root module in HCL — VPC, subnets, security groups, and 2× EC2 instances using variable interpolation, locals, and for_each with a complex object map — and apply it to a staging environment with a clean terraform plan output reviewed in a GitHub pull request.
You will be able to import your three most critical existing AWS resources into Terraform state using Terraform 1.7 native import blocks without triggering resource recreation, and verify zero-diff plan output before merging to your main branch.
You will be able to configure an S3 + DynamoDB remote backend with state locking, demonstrate what happens when two engineers run terraform apply simultaneously without locking, recover from a stuck lock using terraform force-unlock, and document the backend configuration so a second engineer can onboard in under 10 minutes.
You will be able to extract a reusable Terraform module for Vaultline's web compute tier with explicit variable and output interfaces, publish it to a local modules directory, and call it from three separate root modules with per-environment tfvars files — passing tfsec 1.28 with zero HIGH findings.
You will be able to hand a junior engineer a terraform.tfvars file and a README that lets them run terraform plan against the dev environment, read the output correctly, and open a GitHub pull request for review — without asking you a single question and without AWS console access.

The day after you finish

The day after completing this course, you will open your terminal, run terraform import on Vaultline's three most-used production AWS resources using 1.7 import blocks, verify a zero-diff terraform plan output, push the state-backed configuration to a GitHub branch, and open a pull request — giving your team their first version-controlled, auditable record of production infrastructure without a single resource being recreated or a single deployment window required.

Who this is for

  • Primary: AWS Infrastructure Engineer or DevOps Engineer with 3–5 years of console-based AWS experience managing 10–50 resources across dev/staging/prod with no IaC version control
  • Secondary: Platform Engineer or SRE inheriting an undocumented AWS environment who needs to bring existing resources under Terraform state without a maintenance window
  • Tertiary: Engineering Manager or Tech Lead who will review Terraform pull requests, approve module interfaces, or evaluate the team's remote backend and workspace strategy

Prerequisites

  • AWS console fluency: you provision EC2, RDS, VPCs, security groups, and IAM roles without documentation
  • Git workflow competency: you open pull requests, resolve merge conflicts, and understand branch-based review
  • CLI navigation: you work in a terminal daily and have run AWS CLI commands against a live account
  • Basic YAML or JSON reading ability: you have read a CloudFormation template or AWS policy document
  • NOT required: any prior Terraform or HCL experience — this course starts from zero HCL and moves fast

Capstone Project

Vaultline Production-Ready Multi-Environment Infrastructure Repository

Provision a complete 3-tier application stack for Vaultline — Application Load Balancer, Auto Scaling web tier (t3.medium), RDS PostgreSQL 15.4, and S3 log bucket, inside a VPC with public/private subnets and least-privilege IAM roles — using a modular Terraform codebase with separate dev/staging/prod root modules, per-environment terraform.tfvars files, an S3 + DynamoDB remote backend with per-environment state keys, GitHub Actions workflow running terraform plan on every pull request, and a tfsec scan with zero HIGH findings. The final repository includes a documented module interface README and a simulated import of two pre-existing resources into the staging state file.

What you'll deliver

A public GitHub repository containing: (1) a /modules/compute_web_tier and /modules/data_postgres module with documented variable and output blocks; (2) /environments/dev, /environments/staging, and /environments/prod root modules each with their own backend configuration and terraform.tfvars; (3) a .github/workflows/terraform-plan.yml GitHub Actions workflow that posts plan output as a PR comment; (4) a tfsec scan report showing zero HIGH severity findings; (5) a terraform.tfstate excerpt or plan output demonstrating two imported resources with zero planned changes; and (6) a README that a junior engineer can follow to run dev from scratch.
