CompTIA Linux+: Infrastructure as Code and Git

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) refers to the use of directive files written commonly in YAML or JSON syntax that control the deployment or configuration of IT components including cloud resources such as virtual networks and virtual machines. Git version control is commonly used to manage multiple versions of files which can include programming code.

In this course we will begin by exploring IaC. Then we will discover how continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) is relevant in managing IT code and infrastructure. Next we will use Terraform to deploy IaC files and investigate the benefits of using Git for file version control. We will install Git on Linux clone a Git repository and work with local and remote Git repositories. Finally we will branch and merge a Git repository and manage Git events that trigger Git hooks.

This course can be used to prepare learners for the Linux+ XK0-005 certification exam.
