Skill · Provisioning · Provision as code with Terraform

Organize several environments and a Terraform repository without dangerous coupling

Separate dev, staging and prod without dangerous coupling: workspaces when they fit, separate directories and backends otherwise, per-environment variables.

Beyond the lessons

Assess, practise, pass the proof

Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.

Assess yourself

1 quiz

At the end of the lessons: passed at 70%, it confirms the skill.

Practice

6 guided labs

• Split a monorepo into two stacks that talk to each other
• Split a monolithic configuration, and prove the plan did not move
• Which value wins, and how to prove it
• Two roots, two states, one shared module
• Workspaces or separate configurations, and what the split costs
• One directory, three states that never see each other

Proof

No proof

Neither a challenge nor a mission with a proof yet.

Apply it on real infrastructure

• Quiz Organiser les environnements Terraform (in French)

Hands-on lessons: their labs count as practice and their quizzes assess you, without being required to acquire it.

Going further

• Environnements IaC et promotion d'un changement (in French)

Reference pages: they support the skill without teaching it, and do not count in your journey.
