Progress to Terraform, a widely adopted IaC tool used for automating cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Gain hands-on experience with Terraform commands, workflows, and provider integrations. Conclude with Puppet, where you’ll learn configuration management through real-world demos, writing manifests, understanding Puppet architecture, and exploring how companies use it at scale.
