Program Overview: What is Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and OpenTofu?
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform & OpenTofu is a 24-hour corporate training program for engineers who need fluency in both the industry standard and its open-source successor. It covers HCL essentials, Terraform workflow and state management, reusable modules, drift control, and testing, policy, and CI for IaC. Labs run on both tools throughout.
Training works in both tools side by side. Participants write HCL, manage state, compose reusable modules, fight drift, and run IaC through testing and CI pipelines, first in Terraform then in OpenTofu. Instructors review both versions for parity and safety, coaching on migration between the two. Every lab is checked for correctness in both tools before moving on. The program closes with a capstone: a production-ready cloud environment.
The Terraform license change left teams uncertain: stay, or move to OpenTofu? This program ends the debate by teaching both, so engineers write portable IaC and choose tools on merit rather than habit. Portable skills, portable infrastructure, no lock-in anxiety.
The capstone is a production-ready cloud environment. Each team builds the same environment twice, once in Terraform and once in OpenTofu: networking, compute, state backends, drift controls, and CI pipelines, with a migration plan between the two. Both versions are graded on identical production criteria: safe applies, clean state, no drift. The team proves their infrastructure is tool-portable, and takes home the migration playbook their organization needs.
Every module pairs concept delivery with a guided lab, so employees practice on infrastructure patterns that mirror their own cloud estate. The capstone has each learner provision a full multi-tier environment from modules, with a plan-review pipeline and runbook. Content adapts to your cloud accounts, module standards, and approval workflows.

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and OpenTofu Course Topics and Program Outline
Six modules take your team from HCL fundamentals to governed, tested infrastructure code, with guided labs throughout.
Built by Edstellar with platform engineers who run Terraform and OpenTofu in production
Built by practitioners who provision and govern cloud infrastructure as code every day, shaped around your stack and use cases.
A short skills review maps your team's Terraform, state management, and cloud baseline before day one.
Instructor sessions cover HCL, the Terraform workflow, and remote state with live demos.
Guided labs build modules, reconcile drift, and add policy checks to real configurations.
The capstone has each learner provision a full environment from modules for review.
Ships reviewable infrastructure your team can change with confidence
