Learn Terraform with the 'Hard Way' method. It's the best way to develop your skills, and takes you from confusion to understanding in easy-to-follow steps.

Learn Terraform The Hard Way

Preface

This Terraform course has been written to help users to get to a deeper understanding and proficiency in Terraform. It doesn’t aim to make you an expert immediately, but you will be more confident about using it and building your knowledge up from that secure base.

Learn Terraform the Hard Way

This part goes over the very basic concepts that you use when Terraforming.

Part I - Local Basics

In this section you will use Terraform to create resources external to your local host machine. Building on your knowledge from Part I, you’ll see how to create resources on a given provider. That might be a cloud-based provider (we’ll be using AWS in our examples) or any other kind of resource accessible via an API that’s supported by Terraform.

Part II - Remote Terraform

In this section you will pick up a deeper understanding of Terraform techniques. You will revisit modules and understand them as similar to functions in programming, with inputs and outputs passed around as variables. You’ll see how to use templates to reference and use larger sets of data, loops to create multiple instances of a resource, and how Terraform modules are typically structured.
