    • Root module decomposition
      • Working with new and legacy monolithic projects alike, approaches to thoughtful Terraform project organization

Developing and Managing More Complex Terraform Projects and Modules

  • Comprehensive best practices
  • Module versions
  • Share and focus on DRY
  • Complex provider scenarios across projects and modules
  • Introduce Terraform Null Label and its utility

An Introduction to Make + Makefile

  • Automate repetitive tasks in Terraform projects using a reliable, standard linux tool

Advanced Terraform tool and CLI understanding

  • Understand state and the state file
  • State migration, management in complex scenarios
  • Terraform import approaches in complex scenarios
  • Approach mistakes and messes
    • Drift that's gotten out of hand
    • Corrupted or irreparable state
    • Know what can't be fixed
    • Proactively ensure that you don't end up in this position with Terraform

HCL Advanced Topics

  • Advanced configuration language expression features:
    • Re-usability approaches
    • Loops, meta-arguments
    • For expressions
    • Types in the context of expressions

Hardening Security for Terraform

  • Shift left Terraform security, defense in depth
  • State files and security
  • Manage credentials and secrets: least privilege, rotation, protection
  • Where and how security can break down in Terraform workflows

Reliability of Infrastructure and Testing

  • What automated and manual testing frameworks and methods are available currently?
    • The current state of affairs leaves a lot to be desired, e.g. terratest
  • Drift and mitigate unexpected consequences in realistic scenarios
  • Developer responsibility vs automated testing, git hooks for validation, terraform-pre-commit, etc.

Automating Terraform, Terraform in Pipelines

  • Terraform with Spinnaker
  • Use automated delivery pipelines to improve quality assurance, stability, and reliability of infrastructure and Terraform deployments
  • Terraform and GitOps: approaches to adopting GitOps in Terraform workflows
  • Terraform Cloud and Enterprise overview, a look at how these offerings improve Terraform workflows and what other tools/processes exist out there to serve the same need: custom CI/CD pipelines for Terraform, tools like Atlantis, etc.
