How to automate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform/OpenTofu (2025 Edition)

Master Terraform and OpenTofu on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) – Build, Automate, and Scale Your Cloud Infrastructure Like a Pro!

This Terraform OCI course will teach you everything you need to know about automating infrastructure on Oracle Cloud using either Terraform or OpenTofu. Terraform has long been the industry-standard tool for implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and with the rise of OpenTofu — its open-source alternative — cloud automation has never been more flexible.

This comprehensive self-study course is designed to take you from a beginner to a confident pro in using Terraform and OpenTofu to manage and scale real-world infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

What You’ll Learn

• Automate the creation of OCI resources like Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs), Subnets, and Compute Instances.

• Dive into advanced topics like Load Balancers, File Storage Services, Databases, and Network Security Groups (NSGs).

• Master complex configurations, including VCN peering and cross-region DataGuard.

• Understand Terraform and OpenTofu syntax, modules, input variables, output values, and state files.

• Use data sources to integrate both new and existing OCI resources efficiently.

• Build reusable and modular code to support scalable infrastructure setups.

Get the Code – Terraform OCI GitHub Repository

This Terraform OCI course is backed by a private GitHub repository, available exclusively to enrolled students on FoggyKitchen.

The repository contains production-grade Infrastructure as Code (IaC) used throughout the course, including:

• complete Terraform/OpenTofu configurations

• reusable modules and real-world examples

• versioned, maintained code aligned with the 2025 edition

Access to the private repository is provided after course enrollment and ensures that all students work with consistent, up-to-date, and supported code, rather than outdated public examples.

This approach reflects real enterprise workflows, where infrastructure code is version-controlled, curated, and shared intentionally — not scraped from random public repositories.

Why Take This Terraform OCI Course?

We start from scratch: deploying a simple VCN, Subnet, and Compute Instance. Then we build up gradually toward more advanced, enterprise-grade architectures. This Terraform OCI course is designed to help you automate cloud infrastructure in a consistent, scalable, and production-ready way.

Through this Terraform OCI course, you’ll gain hands-on experience with both Terraform and OpenTofu — equipping you with adaptable skills for a wide range of IaC use cases. The content also aligns closely with the OCI Associate certification exam, so you can treat this course as both exam prep and real-world skills training.

Who Is This Course For?

• Cloud Engineers & DevOps Professionals – looking to master Terraform/OpenTofu on OCI.

• System Administrators & Architects – who want to automate scalable infrastructure.

• IT Professionals & Students – eager to get certified or apply OCI in production settings.

Learn by Doing – Hands-On from Day One

This is not just a theory course. Every section includes step-by-step labs that guide you through deploying and managing infrastructure on Oracle Cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need a paid OCI account to follow this course?
A: No, you can complete the majority of the labs using an OCI Free Tier account. However, some advanced topics (like Load Balancers or File Storage) may require service limits or credits.

Q: Is OpenTofu required? Can I use Terraform?
A: Yes – all examples are OpenTofu-compatible, but also 100% Terraform-friendly. You can use either CLI to follow along.

Q: Will this help me get certified?
A: Yes – the course supports skills aligned with the OCI 2025 Architect Professional certification, especially the Kubernetes and IaC portions.

Q: Do I get lifetime access?
A: Absolutely. One-time payment gives you full, lifetime access including future updates.
