Terraform Masterclass with Packer, Docker & Github

Deployment is often the final hurdle in application development, historically a challenging process for both developers and operations teams. The rise of DevOps has revolutionized this, bridging the gap between development and operations to streamline the entire software delivery lifecycle. A wide array of deployment tools have emerged to address common deployment pain points, encompassing areas like configuration management, server templating, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

However, many tutorials focus on individual tools, lacking practical, real-world application. This can make integrating these tools effectively in a complex deployment scenario difficult.

This course provides a hands-on approach to deployment, focusing on an E-commerce Node API application. We'll leverage a powerful combination of tools to create a fully automated deployment with a custom SSL domain, eliminating manual configuration steps. You'll gain expertise in:

• Git Version Control: Manage your codebase and infrastructure changes effectively.
• Linux & Bash Scripts: Automate tasks and orchestrate deployments.
• Terraform: Implement Infrastructure as Code for repeatable and consistent infrastructure provisioning.
• Docker: Containerize your application for portability and consistency.
• Packer: Automate the creation of machine images.
• Continuous Integration (CI) with GitHub Actions: Automate testing and deployment pipelines.
• AWS (Amazon Web Services): Deploy and manage your application on a scalable cloud platform.

By integrating these tools, you'll learn to automate the entire deployment process, version your infrastructure using Git, and easily roll back to previous states in case of issues. This course equips you with the skills to build robust, scalable, and easily maintainable deployments.
