Introduction

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool created by HashiCorp. It enables users to define and provision data center infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. This project aims to provide a hands-on learning experience with practical examples and exercises.

What is Terraform?

Terraform allows you to manage infrastructure with configuration files that describe the desired state of your infrastructure. It can manage both existing service providers and custom in-house solutions, and it has a large community and ecosystem.

This repository is organized into several directories, each representing a different aspect or component of Terraform:

• /examples: Contains practical examples to help you understand how to use Terraform.
• /modules: Reusable components that can be used across different projects.
• /docs: Documentation related to the project and Terraform concepts.
• /scripts: Helper scripts for setting up and managing your Terraform environment.
