So in my mind, we walked out of those three days with the building blocks and knowledge to build just about anything in AWS with Terraform. Not only can we build it, but we can test it, and validate our terraform against best practices and setup pull requests hooks to validate code before allowing it to be checked in.
Bernard Quick - AWS, Inc.
Course - Terraform on AWS
- After two years of mainly virtual communication, training etc. it was great to have a course on site again togehter with the whole team - Additionally to theory and lab excercises it's very valuable to see the teacher doing stuff live as well, including all mistakes he might do. This greatly helps to getting an idea of how one should work with a tool, get help, debug etc.
