Terraform & Infrastructure as Code with Proxmox and Ansible

Masterclass Hands-On Course: Terraform, Ansible, Packer, Vault and AI – IaC for DevOps and Sysadmins

What you’ll learn
Understanding Infrastructure as Code and applying it in practice with Terraform
Mastering Terraform: from the first project to modules, remote state and import
Building your own lab environment: installing Proxmox VE and preparing it for Terraform
Declaring containers and virtual machines: init, plan, apply and destroy under control
Understanding the state file: why Terraform changes instead of recreating
Separating variables, outputs and secrets cleanly and storing credentials in HashiCorp Vault
Handing over from Terraform to Ansible: writing roles for users, SSH hardening and services
Rolling out Semaphore UI and securing it behind nginx as a reverse proxy
Building your own VM templates with Packer and letting Terraform clone them
Checking the configuration: fmt, validate and security scanners such as Trivy and Checkov
Working in a team: modules, a shared remote state with locking and refactoring without recreation
Using AI sensibly: Claude Code writes Terraform and playbooks, and you review the code

Requirements
NO experience with Terraform is required.
Basic knowledge of Linux and the command line is helpful.
A computer or virtual machine for Proxmox VE, so you can rebuild the content yourself.

Description*This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Welcome to “Terraform & Infrastructure as Code with Proxmox and Ansible”!
Are you asysadmin, DevOps engineer, or IT professional who no longer wants to click your servers and containers together by hand, butdescribe them as code with Terraform – traceable, versioned and reproducible at any time? Then this course is exactly right for you!

We don’t stop at theory. You build yourown lab environment with Proxmox VE and use Terraform to create containers and virtual machines on it. Step by step, acomplete practical example takes shape: Terraform creates the systems,hands over to Ansible, and roles set up users, SSH hardening and a finished service –Semaphore UI behind nginx as a reverse proxy. WithPacker, you build your own templates from which Terraform clones new machines.

A dedicated focus lies on what makes the difference in practice: understanding thestate file,secrets in HashiCorp Vault instead of in the code,modules as reusable building blocks, ashared remote state with locking for the team, taking over existing systems withimport, and checking the configuration withsecurity scanners. We also clarify whenOpenTofu is the better choice.

And we show you how touse AI sensibly: Claude Code writes Terraform configuration and Ansible playbooks – and you learn toreview the generated code before you trust it.

We demonstrate all of this content withinlive demos – and not through boring presentations. For every lesson, you get thecommands to follow along and theproject files shown as a download.
