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.

## What is a workspace in Terraform?

A **workspace** in Terraform Cloud and Terraform open-source mean two slightly different things. For the certification, we’re focusing on the Terraform open-source option. Workspaces in Terraform open-source are independently managed state files that share a common configuration. 

>Note: In older versions of Terraform, a similar construct called an environment was managed using the `terraform env` command. That command still exists, but it’s essentially an alias for `terraform workspace` and may be deprecated in a future release.
### Workspace for multiple environments
Many organizations have multiple environments, including development, testing, staging, and
production. Each Terraform workspace is meant to represent the deployment of a configuration
to one of these separate working environments. This enables us to use a single configuration to manage the same deployment in all environments, ensuring a high level of consistency as applications roll through the lower environments to production.
