Azure DevOps: Provision API Infrastructure using Terraform - Full Course

In this full course, we’ll automatically provision an API on Azure including the infrastructure required to run it, (by defining the infrastructure as code)! You’ll be shown how to do this completely step by step using: .NET Core 3.1, Docker, Docker Hub, Azure DevOps, Terraform and Azure.

When done, you’ll understand the power of Infrastructure as Code!
