About This Course

⌄

This course is a hands-on training program designed to teach cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, and platform operators how to automate cloud deployments, build modern CI/CD workflows, and orchestrate lightweight Kubernetes clusters using K3s. This course brings together three high-impact skill areas—Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation pipelines, and container orchestration—to help you build scalable, repeatable, production-ready cloud environments on AWS. You’ll learn how to define infrastructure declaratively with Terraform, automate provisioning and updates, implement CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployments, and run highly efficient K3s Kubernetes clusters for containerized applications.

Through real-world demonstrations and lab-based learning, you’ll gain the technical expertise needed to treat infrastructure as software, reduce manual workloads, and accelerate application delivery in cloud environments.

What You’ll Learn

⌄

Terraform on AWS

  • Core Terraform concepts: providers, resources, modules, state management

  • Automating AWS provisioning (EC2, VPC, IAM, networking, storage, etc.)

  • Building reusable modules and managing complex architectures

  • Secure Terraform workflows and remote backends

  • Best practices for version control and multi-environment deployments

CI/CD Automation

  • Automating Terraform and application deployments with CI/CD pipelines

  • Integrating GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or other pipeline tools

  • Implementing automated tests, plan/apply workflows, and approval gates

  • Managing artifact storage, secrets, and rollbacks

K3s Lightweight Kubernetes

  • Introduction to K3s and why it differs from standard Kubernetes

  • Deploying and managing K3s clusters on AWS

  • Running containerized workloads and microservices

  • Managing networking, storage, ingress, and scaling with K3s

  • Automating K3s cluster provisioning using Terraform
