exercise 2

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platform that allows users to manage and integrate various external resources as united infrastructure. This is achieved by using the proprietary HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) or JSON.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to Terraform. It helps users build confidence through foundational understanding of Terraform’s approach to resource management and the coding environment. You’ll start with an introduction to Terraform and learn how to set up local files. You’ll then take your learning to the cloud, managing remote resources by identifying unique resources and dependencies. Next, you’ll learn the modules and data structures unique to Terraform before practicing various techniques for infrastructure management, including triggers, resource creation, and backend code.

By the end of this course, you’ll have learned to think creatively and be ready to solve production and deployment problems through Terraform.
