Curriculum: Terraform
This curriculum structures a Terraform workshop from fundamentals to advanced platform and security operations. It combines theory, architecture understanding, practical exercises, review criteria and operational maturity.
Curriculum Goal
After the full series you can design, review, operate and safely evolve Terraform configurations in teams. You understand providers, state, backends, modules, plan artifacts, HCP Terraform, Terraform Enterprise, governance and incident response.
Teaching Model
The workshop follows a repeating cycle:
Understand -> Write -> Plan -> Review -> Apply -> Operate -> Secure
| Step | Goal | Typical Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Concept | understand purpose and limits | IaC model, provider, state, backend |
| Configuration | describe desired state | HCL, variables, locals, resources |
| Plan | make impact visible | terraform plan, JSON plan, diff review |
| Review | evaluate risks | state, secrets, destroy, IAM, cost |
| Apply | execute in a controlled way | approval, locking, remote run, audit |
| Operations | handle drift, recovery and changes | runbook, import, state migration |
Level Structure
| Level | Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Fundamentals | IaC, HCL, Provider, Resources, Variablen, Outputs, lokaler State und sicherer CLI-Workflow | You can explain, locally check and operationally review the included Terraform patterns. |
| Intermediate | Module, Backends, Remote State, Locking, for_each, lifecycle, Import und Refactoring | You can explain, locally check and operationally review the included Terraform patterns. |
| Professional | Multi-Environment-Design, Modulversionierung, CI/CD, Drift, HCP Terraform, TACOS und Governance | You can explain, locally check and operationally review the included Terraform patterns. |
| Advanced Security | State Security, Least Privilege, Supply Chain, Policy as Code, Destroy-Schutz und Incident Response | You can explain, locally check and operationally review the included Terraform patterns. |
Roles and Learning Paths
- Developers focus on HCL, modules, inputs, outputs and CI feedback.
- Platform engineers focus on backends, module registry, workspaces, remote runs and governance.
- SREs focus on drift, locks, recovery, audit and change control.
- Security engineers focus on state, secrets, provider supply chain, policy as code and credential leaks.
Lab Strategy
All labs run locally without production credentials. HCL artifacts use local provider patterns and static checks; real cloud applies are deliberately unnecessary.
Assessment Rubric
| Criterion | Basic | Good | Excellent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Correctness | HCL is readable and structured | providers and variables are cleanly set | plan/state impact is explained |
| Security | no secrets in code | state and backend risks are marked | recovery and rotation are described |
| Operations | manual execution possible | CI and review path exists | governance and audit are included |
| Architecture | single project understood | module and environment boundaries clear | organization model with HCP/TFE/TACOS can be reviewed |
