Automating Infrastructure on Google Cloud with Terraform

Automating Infrastructure on Google Cloud with Terraform

Make your team self-sufficient in building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently with Terraform

Program Overview

Terraform is a tool that has become more popular because of its simple syntax that allows easy modularity and works against multi-cloud. One important reason corporations consider Terraform is to manage their infrastructure as code.

With Terraform, many of your team’s resources — such as projects, IAM policies, networks, and Compute Engine instances — can be managed, versioned, and easily recreated for your organization or teams. The state that Terraform generates is saved to Google Cloud Storage for persistence.

You can start by getting this industry-approved training for your team, offered by Uptut. We will cover everything from the basics to advanced levels of this tool under the guidance of industry experts.

Why Terraform with Google Cloud for your business?

  • Consistent and repeatable infrastructure provisioning: With Terraform, your team can define infrastructure as code, which means that your team can easily reproduce the same infrastructure across multiple environments.
  • Multi-cloud support: Terraform is cloud-agnostic, which means that your team can use it to manage infrastructure on multiple cloud providers, including Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, and others
  • Infrastructure automation: Reduce the time and effort required to manage your team’s infrastructure and improve the consistency and reliability of deployments.
