Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) involves managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. Terraform is a popular tool for implementing IaC, allowing users to define and manage infrastructure in a declarative configuration language.

CI/CD Tools

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a set of practices that help software development teams automate and streamline their build, test, and deployment processes. Examples of CI/CD tools include:

• ArgoCD
• Gitlab Pipelines
• CircleCI

Docker is a widely-used tool for creating and managing containers, while Kubernetes is a popular platform for automating container orchestration and deployment.

Networking Fundamentals

Understanding networking fundamentals is essential for managing and troubleshooting connectivity in a cloud environment. Topics include:

• IP networking
• TCP

Cloud Security Fundamentals

Ensuring the security of cloud environments involves implementing best practices to protect data, applications, and infrastructure. Some key considerations include:

• Least privilege access
• Security groups
• Isolated networks
