Terraform β Infrastructure as Code with Real Cloud Projects ποΈ¶
Terraform allows you to provision and manage cloud infrastructure using code. On DevopsPilot, Terraform is taught using real AWS and GCP projects, not abstract examples.
This section focuses on practical, end-to-end infrastructure automation.
π° What Youβll Learn Here¶
β How Terraform works in real cloud environments β Writing Terraform for AWS and GCP services β Managing CI/CD infrastructure using Terraform β Project-based learning with reusable code
π§ How Terraform Is Used on DevopsPilot¶
Instead of isolated concepts, Terraform is covered through:
- Real AWS services (CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline)
- Real GCP services (Cloud Run, Apigee)
- End-to-end infrastructure workflows
- GitHub-backed Terraform projects
π‘ Learn Terraform the same way itβs used in real DevOps teams.

Follow this order for best understanding π
π’ Terraform Basics¶
- What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- What is Terraform
- Terraform workflow (
init,plan,apply) - Understanding Terraform files
π‘ Terraform on AWS¶
Learn Terraform by provisioning real AWS CI/CD services:
- AWS CodeBuild using Terraform
- AWS CodeDeploy using Terraform
- AWS CodePipeline using Terraform
- IAM roles, S3, ECR, and SSM usage
π΅ Terraform on GCP¶
Project-based Terraform examples on GCP:
- Deploying applications to Cloud Run
- Managing Artifact Registry
- Apigee + Cloud Run integrations
- Production-style GCP setups
π Real-World Use Cases¶
- Creating CI/CD infrastructure with Terraform
- Automating AWS & GCP services
- Managing infrastructure as reusable code
- Learning Terraform for DevOps roles
- GitOps-style infrastructure management
π― Who Should Learn Terraform Here?¶
β DevOps engineers β Cloud engineers (AWS / GCP) β Jenkins & CI/CD learners β Anyone moving from manual cloud setup to IaC
