The Complete Terraform IAC Development Bootcamp (Udemy.com)
Terraform with AWS & GCP HandsOn Labs. Infrastructure as a Code, Terraform Associate Certification with just ONE Course
Created by: TechLynk Selenium
Last updated August 2025
Our take
Based on the ratings of 451 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a 16-hour Terraform course with 114 lectures across 17 sections, taught by TechLynk Selenium. About 90 percent of it uses AWS, which the description says outright. It starts with infrastructure as code basics, moves through variables, modules, loops and conditions, then moves on to three job scenarios: a web app deployment, Docker and Kubernetes on EKS, and an ELK stack. A short GCP section and a certification guide close it out. The requirements assume some AWS knowledge, so it is not truly for total beginners despite the pitch.
Most of the 451 reviews are positive, with 247 five-star ratings and 137 four-star. Reviewers like the clear explanations and the habit of showing each command's output, so they can follow along in their own AWS account. The complaints are consistent too. Two reviewers say the instructor reads slides or scripts aloud, one says some labs are pasted in without explaining the code, and two say the instructor does not answer questions in the Q&A. One 2025 reviewer found the syntax out of date, and another said the audio and video quality was weak.
The course was last updated in August 2025, which is fairly recent, but expect to fix some older syntax as you go. The labs create real AWS resources, so cloud charges are a separate cost. The exam section is 17 lectures and two practice tests, and one reviewer called it too basic for the certification. With 24,505 students, it suits someone who wants hands-on AWS labs. For serious exam prep, add extra practice exams.
Pros
- Shows each command's output on screen, so learners can follow along in their own AWS account
- Three job scenarios: web app deployment, Docker with EKS, and an ELK stack on AWS
- Covers modules, loops, conditions, state and Packer in about 16 hours
- Includes a 17-lecture certification guide plus two practice tests
Cons
- Reviewers say the instructor often reads slides and scripts aloud instead of explaining them
- Some syntax is out of date, so expect troubleshooting, and some Q&A questions go unanswered
- About 90 percent AWS, with only a short GCP section, and it assumes AWS knowledge
Very clear instructions and output of each action shown in video. As well as side by side we were encouraged to do same hands-on with own AWS account. that was really useful.
Labeled all levels, but it expects basic AWS and server knowledge, so true beginners may struggle.

Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey. We often need someone to helps us take the first few steps before we get a master's in that move.
This is the vision we have behind all of our courses 'Step by Step'
1. Start from scratch
2. Break down the topic
3. Simplify things
4. Go step by step
Teaching is our passion and we design every course so you can start from scratch, knowing nothing about a topic and become an expert after the course and can work on enterprise projects.
Do not worry if you do not have any existing knowledge of the subject. We will go very basic, step by step.

Hello Anshul, I did try to login to Digital Ocean, but was not able to authenticate using my card. Also currently my account has been locked. I have already raised a ticket for the same. If possible will you be able to help me in these issue?

Le cours est bien fait Hélas, C'etais très difficile pour s'alligner avec ce cours notamment au début. La qualité du son n'est pas bonne, aussi pour l'image et l'enregistrement.
By Manda Luisinho on 12/9/2024
The instructor does a phenomenal job explaining Terraform’s fundamentals while also delving into advanced concepts like modules and state management. The hands-on labs and real-world examples were invaluable for solidifying my skills.

Great course, very valuable information on the videos, however some terraform advance labs are missing, and would very nice to have real use cases for terraform advance scenarios.

you should have introduce like 3 min notes on Visual Studio code, because people use different editors...i know they can google the operations, but it would be great if we had that .
