This course is designed to help learners obtain the Terraform Associate certification from HashiCorp. 

You’ve likely picked up this course because you dabbled in Terraform as a hobbyist or in a
development environment, and you’re excited about the possibilities of deploying Infrastructure 
as Code (IaC). It will enable you to sharpen your skills and prove your knowledge with a certification from HashiCorp. Terraform is an amazing tool to deploy Infrastructure as Code in a cloud-agnostic way. We’re excited to share our accumulated knowledge with you through this course.

HashiCorp Terraform Certified Associate Preparation Guide

Most providers in Terraform are composed of resources and data sources. Data sources are existing resources or information available from the provider for use within the configuration.

## Data sources

Data sources are simply sources of information that we can retrieve from a provider. For example, maybe we want to retrieve an AMI ID for a specific version of Ubuntu in the AWS `us-east-1` region. Or, perhaps we need to get the VNet ID where we’ll deploy some Azure virtual machines. Those are two examples of a data source.
