Tools

In this section, we will cover the tools we commonly use. This ecosystem is ever-growing and it is not an exhaustive list. These are simply the tools we use, that add value to our interactions with Terraform and we felt were worth passing along. Get started here

Types

One of the biggest obstacles we have encountered when mentoring folks new to Terraform is they will pass the incorrect type to Terraform. It has been our experience that there is value in understanding what type Terraform is expecting you to pass to it. The docs often fall short here. Having an awareness of the types Terraform supports, and how to find out what type the Resource or Data Source is expecting is what we cover in this section. We feel with this knowledge and awareness will create a better experience and hopefully a less frustrating experience. Get started here.
