You ll learn what Infrastructure-as-Code means and the tools and technologies that are used to deploy and manage it

Next, you'll learn about some of the more common Infrastructure-as-Code tools and technologies: Terraform Azure Resource Manager, Chef, Puppet, and more. You'll also learn about technical debt and how to deal with it in templates. The course then covers transient infrastructure and its role in the delivery lifecycle, before finishing off by looking at the mitigation of infrastructure state drift
