IAM DevOps: Terraform, Git and CI/CD

About this video

This SkillsBuild video course shows how to manage identity configuration with Terraform, Git and a CI/CD pipeline. Instead of clicking through admin portals, changes are written, reviewed and deployed in a controlled way. At the senior stage, this helps teams reduce drift, track every change and roll back mistakes.

What you'll learn

• Why configuration as code reduces drift and manual errors in identity
• Git basics for IAM teams: branches, pull requests and reviews
• Managing Entra ID groups, applications and policies with Terraform
• Terraform state, plan and apply, and how to read a plan before approving
• A pipeline that plans on pull request and applies on merge
• Using workload identity federation so pipelines don't need stored secrets
• Detecting drift and rolling back a bad change

What's included

• Build-along demos using a free Microsoft Entra ID test tenant
• Terraform and pipeline code explained line by line
• Discussion of how teams review and approve identity changes
• A small configuration-as-code project for your portfolio

Who it's for

• IAM engineers who want to stop making changes by hand
• Senior engineers introducing change control to an identity team
• DevOps and platform engineers who look after identity resources
• Engineers preparing for senior roles that expect infrastructure as code

By the end, you'll be able to manage a set of identity resources as code and deploy changes through a reviewed pipeline.
