Terraform Learning Project

Welcome to the Terraform Learning Project! This repository is designed to help you get started with Terraform, a powerful tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently.

Table of Contents

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.

Project Structure

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.
