Getting started with technologies these days is easier than ever since there are plenty of introductory articles and most technology providers will keep dedicated teams for writing and keeping up-to-date technical documentation with titles such as Getting started with xxxx . 10 minute intro to xxxxx , Quick intro to... , etc. Terraform is no exception to this and they have great entry level documentation here:
Although the Terraform documentation is top quality after reading it you still feel like you’re just grasping the surface and there’s lots of complex, enterprise-level scenarios that are unclear.
People have different learning styles but for me my preference is learning lessons by a mix of theory and practice (I am a big fan of all books finishing by ...in Action ) and therefore this article will be the first of a series of articles using different use cases that expose best practices within Terraform by example and will progress in complexity from one use case to another. The first use case that will be covered is the definition of a blog site using serverless technologies in AWS.
