Infrastructure as Code
Terraform is a tool for defining the configuration of cloud resources declaratively, as Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This course gives you the skills to design and maintain an IaC system based on Terraform.
Interactive learning
The course combines theory with a hands-on lab on our cloud systems. The number of participants is limited so that everyone can really interact with the instructor.
Real experience
Our instructors come from extensive experience in designing and implementing cloud native technologies. This makes it possible to go into the advantages and the problems of each individual tool in detail.

Who teaches it
I am Martino Fornasa, DevOps and cloud consultant. I design and run infrastructure with Terraform in the cloud and in the datacenter. I have long teaching experience as a university lecturer, corporate trainer and head of a training team.
In the classroom I bring the real problems I meet in projects. You can watch the recordings of some of my talks at industry conferences.
Frequently asked
Terraform or OpenTofu?
The course uses Terraform. OpenTofu uses the same syntax and the same providers: what you learn applies to both. In class we can look at the features they share and at the differences.
Does it prepare for the Terraform Associate certification?
The program covers the exam topics. As with any certification, after the course you need individual study to master the exam format.
Can it be done in half days?
Yes: four remote half days, for example one per week. The teaching hours are the same, 14.
