AWS Automation

Cloud Courses

Offline or Online AWS Automation using Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CLI and PowerShell training course.

Lean to automate AWS infrastructure and day to day operations via CLI tools. Transition from manual AWS GUI/console-based tasks to building, managing, and deploying cloud resources programmatically.

Best AWS Automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CLI and PowerShell) training in Pune India

You'll gain hands-on experience with the four pillars of AWS automation: AWS CLI and PowerShell for imperative scripting, and CloudFormation and Terraform for declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC). At the end, each student will complete a Capstone Project based on the knowledge gained during the training
