I completed this course before my scheduled interview on terraform and got the job and still i am using this course as a reference. thanks, man for the wonderful course.

Loved your video, I learned so much in this 2 hour tutorial. I'm now confident working with Terraform and hope to land a job in Cloud soon. For those having problems with server saying CONNECTION REFUSED it is most likely that the user data is not running. You can instead create a .sh file in the same folder of the Terraform project and add the commands there omitting the EOF, just add the lines with sudo. We then access the .sh file doing the following in the user_data section: user_data = file("${path.module}/filename.sh") That should work Also I just discovered we can Output more than one value by using a list: output "name" { value = [resource.propert1, resource.property2....] }

Hi, thanks for the course. I had some challenges during on the practice project. (cidr_block and route).

Thank you for simplifying Terraform so effectively. Your breakdown of each concept is truly remarkable.

[@bkarmay]

Great session, great technical skills, and teaching style! Top quality congrats and thank you.

[@relativityboy]

Great! One hiccup - 2 years on - could be worth updating with an SSL-Cert and enabling SSL in the apache server in the user_data script.... or mention that the apache server is only going to be serving on port 80... and that browsers are now following that IP defaulting to HTTPs. This caused me a couple hours of pain, hoping you can help others a little (even if it's just an annotation on the vid)

[@sandeep26sunny]

Outstanding explanation and got an overview of terraform, got hands dirty and got hands on experience by following this tutorial and perfect tutorial for beginner like me. I will definetely subscribe now.

[@NicGillespie]

I tried free code camp a long time ago when it was first starting out. Overall it was okay, but not great. I got an hour into this tutorial and was thinking "who made this, its amazing and its add free, they are surely some sort of generous God." I had no idea FCC quality has shifted so much, I'll have to go back and check what other stuff they have. This video is great.

[@saibamoe]

The quality has gotten better. For something free, it's really great.

Man this is the best video on terraform I have seen. Sanjeev you the man bro.

[@impatientmaker8469]

Great video! Perfect pace too. I followed along and had almost no issues. Since it's a year later, I used Ubuntu 20.04. Seems by default apache2 doesn't listen on 443, so clicking the web link in the AWS console for the EC2 instance doesn't work. Just change https to http and it will show your message. Couple notes: EOF is End Of File. That

[@sanelerudolph3758]

Wow was fully enganged...great tutor didn't think I will finish 2 hours in one go.

[@adrianomarra7494]

Best intro video in Terraforms for AWS Cloud by far IMO, I'd just add the instance as a dependency for the "aws_eip" as well to avoid any unexpected errors, so the depends_on would look something like "depends_on = [aws_internet_gateway.gw, aws_instance.web-server-instance]".

[@antfirmin]

Exactly all I needed to know about Terraform in one video. It was paced well, useful shortcuts and some great tips too.

After meticulously following this tutorial video, I am feeling lot more confident in Terraform. Couldn't have asked for a better content covering all the aspects that too within 2 hours 21 minutes. Will wait for upcoming tutorial video covering advanced topics in terraform

This is one of the best tutorials I have come across. Simple and straightforward, that is how I can sum this up. Thank you for the wonderful contribution!

Sanjeev Thiyagarajan, you are great, man! Thank you very much for this course! ⌨️ (1:09:45) Practice Project was a real gem to watch :)

Thanks man a lot i have watched your video and in interview, interviewer ask me to write a sample script to provision ec2 Something like good omen Rest of interview went also well 👍

[@andrewmgrube]

1:36:04 Just a little clarification in case anyone was wondering what the the user_data portion and what the "goofy header" is. 2 angle brackets (less than symbols) and then a dash symbol (-) will start a "here doc" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document). ">>" followed by a delimiting identifier (EOT in your example), starting on the next line, by the text to be quoted, and then closed by the same delimiting identifier on its own line. This syntax is because here documents are formally stream literals, and the content of the document is redirected to stdin (standard input) of the preceding command; the here document syntax is by analogy with the syntax for input redirection, which is < “take input from the following file”.

[@bbking2179]

thx :')

[@abhinavdattaofficial8131]

My #!/bin/bash file is not working and hence I am not able to install the apache2 so I can't see the echo statement in the ipv4 public address so let me know if we have to create a bin folder first using bash..or something pretty new to this don't have much idea kindly help.

[@edv6502]

Phenomenal video!!! Also the presenter was so laid back and relaxed, doesn't take himself too seriously which was just great! Good introduction to Terraform. Terraform in my opinion is much easier than Cloudformation. For newbies, it helps to know the fundamentals of AWS before starting this video.

1:29:30 *** Update *** resource "aws_eip" "eip-1" { network_interface = aws_network_interface.UAT-eni.id associate_with_private_ip = "10.0.0.100" } In the latest Terraform AWS provider versions, specifying "vpc = true" is no longer necessary because all Elastic IPs are assumed to be associated with a VPC by default. Therefore, you can safely remove the "vpc" parameter from your aws_eip resource block:

[@alexnovik]

For some reason user_data doesn't work for me anymore, I had to use the script instead provisioner "file" { source = "script.sh" destination = "/tmp/script.sh" connection { type = "ssh" user = "ec2-user" private_key = file("${path.module}/jenkins.pem") host = self.public_ip } } Like that and then inline [] to run the script

hi, im having issues with the user_data, i would appreciate if you can help, im a novice so i dont really understand your explanation

First!!! I'm going to learn it since so many cloud engineer job openings have terraform listed in their descriptions. Also after learning Ansible I think Terraform is a great next step to take.

Have you looked into packer? Really nice for putting a lot of it in the AMI and you can use ansible to provision it.

[@KevonMayers]

Great video! Very clear presentation. Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but when you were having a "request timeout" around 1:45:25 when trying to ping the public ip, it is because the security group for the ec2 instance didn't have an inbound rule for ICMP traffic. Thanks for the great content!

[@laxmankunwar9637]

By default icmp n all ingress direction ports r blocked, he was doing ssh on port 2

[@emmabeejaybinuyo]

Yes, i noticed how he tried troubleshooting SSH by pinging ec2 instance, which by default is blocked. However, i loved how he realized the mistake looking into his security group. I was waiting for that error cos i saw his SSH ingress on port 2 when setting up terraform template. Overall, this was an excellent tutorial video. I should add that it makes sense to be familiar with setting up resources using the console, that way, it's easy to transition to terraform files.

Thank you for this lesson. It is great. I had a minor issue, when entering the IPv4 address on the browser it wouldn't connect. I found out that the user data step to install apache didn't work, so even though the Ubuntu instance was running apache was not. I was able to run the command to install apache directly on the AWS Cloud shell and that fixed it. Anyone know why the user_data step had issues and didn't run at all?

Great course and I appreciate it was free.

I'd like to test out some real-life deployments in our company sandbox account but we are only allowed to access the account using federated credentials and we are not allowed to use IAM users accounts.
