HashiCorp Terraform Associate Certification Course (003) - Pass the Exam!

[@hugosandoval9013]

Just wanted to share that I passed on August 7th! 🎉 I studied for about a week, and here's what worked for me: 1. This KZbin video - Super helpful for understanding key concepts. 2. Practice exam on Udemy - Crucial for getting exam-ready. It really helped me gauge what to expect. 3. HashiCorp official documentation - A must-read for in-depth understanding. Thanks to everyone who put this together! Good luck to everyone else preparing. You got this! 💪

[@CMD_Line]

Well done Hugo 🎉

[@UmutAkkaya-s8q]

Hugo what resources you used for practice. Also was Terraform CLoud, Enterprise Sentinel, Vault , Packet, Consul and Misc field a part of the exam?

[@oscarsalas1]

congrats! did you take any practical course? I'm struggling to find one with actual coding practice on each topic. I though this one was going to be practical but it's just slides, i want to learn the actual coding.

Thank you so much for sharing this content. I've passed my exam on 30th, April 2024. To be honest, I only used your course Which took me one day to complete and I'm passed. Thanks Andrew.

[@UmutAkkaya-s8q]

Hey tarun is there any question about Terraform Cloud, Sentinel and Vault?

[@JayPanicker]

Passed by Exam today.. I started this as a beginner, so initially I thought going through this video once and doing 1 sample paper was enough. But I failed my first attempt. Then I took another week to study and do more hands on work with Terraform, (do some simple projects from youtube), then atleast 4 sample papers and do the exam. I cant stress this enough - some of the questions can be tricky in the exam, and you need some hands on expereince. But this video has helped me tremendously. Thank you freeCodeCamp

[@ssuma2505]

can u pls help which projects/which sources from youtube hleped you to clear @JayPanicker

[@krunalijain7012]

For hands on, i am referring Abhishek's Videos on youtube which has a playlist called "Zero to Hero Terraform"​, it has 8 Days hands on practice. Or you can even go for Andrews Terraform Bootcamp. @ssuma2505

[@arsenal_84]

@@TheInternetFan use exam topics the questions there are similar, the practice papers in udemy are a bit useless to purchase.

[@dus10dnd]

The provisioners are actually "local-exec", "remote-exec", and "file". "local-exec" will run a command on the system running Terraform. "remote-exec" will run a command on the remote resource (EC2 Instance, Virtual Machine, etc). "file" will upload files to a remote resource.

[@rgbwill6193]

You are really good at releasing videos when I have an exam already scheduled within a few week Andrew. Used your courses to pass the AWS CCP and SA Associate exams and will be using this on top of the Terraform documentation for my exam in 15 days.

[@ExamProChannel]

We just need to know what exam's you're doing next so we can guess what courses I'll release next lol

[@TheInternetFan]

so true, for me as well :-)

[@TheInternetFan]

​​@@ExamProChannel, Hey Andrew, is it true Tf just closed its source code? Lots of people are mad at it and are already talking of forking the project...there's a whole lot of buzz around OpenTerraform...is this cert going to be still relevant by the time 2024 rolls in? Also, the stubble really suits you! didn't recognize you at first 😂

[@ExamProChannel]

​@@TheInternetFan TF is source-available. OpenTF does not reside with a foundation eg. CNCF. The OpenTF roadmap is currently archived so it's not clear how it will deviate from Terraform. Even if OpenTF wants to make major changes, organizations are slow-moving so you're looking well beyond a year from now if OpenTF get some form of adoption. There is no endorsement from any major cloud service providers to utilize OpenTF. There are so many unknowns with OpenTF, I can go on and on. I respect the technical skills of many of the people and organizations pledging to contribute to OpenTF, but there's more to Terraform than its codebase and we'll have to wait and see what happens. I'm seeing a chunk of github stars, but not a lot of execution from the long list of pledges for their OpenTF project. I've decided to stick with Terraform.

All i see is criticism from people and not enough people saying thanks. That's the problem with this world. Pathetic. Thanks for the video, sir. I think it was very informative and helpful.

very nice, still going through AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate at the moment, but already started thinking that I need to get into terraform too. THANKS!

[@ACE6o6]

Take a shot every time you hear "Hey its Andrew Brown from Exam Pro!"

[@kaushikpanta7663]

Please Correct if i am wrong. 2:52:57 But i believe, During the Terraform Plan, for both Speculative and Saved Plan, there needs to be Terraform plan instead or Terraform apply. We can output our plan file using plan command into a binary which would be used by apply command if plan file is supplied.

[@iZphex]

3:56:30 I belive the reason it is giving an a for the 3 is because you start at 0, a = 0, b = 1, c = 2 since there is no option for 3, it goes back from the start. a = 0, b = 1, c = 2, starts over and a = 3 I'm just learning Terraform, so correct me if I am wrong.

[@indianjitsingh]

i think the same

[@Ell000]

So this is really misleading - the hands on setup parts of the video are SKIPPED. I was going to buy a course on udemy or wherever but thought I'd give this a go, but feel misled that a whole chunk is missing with no mention of it. Plus its emphasized at the start of this video how much the hands on work is going to be so important and covered in detail etc. and to find that 1.5 hours later that its not even in this course - is incredibly frustrating. Having a look at other courses now..... misleading people isn't going to get them to buy your course.

[@Xeneizecr]

Agree I was expecting the setup of Terraform to be included, as the instructor mentioned at the beginning, but after watching for 2 hours, they jump to the expression templates in VS Code, and it seems like a whole chapter is missing as there's no prior context of how they set it up. Very misleading!

[@meysam]

You mention at the beginning of this video that it'll be hands-on and practical with real-world production knowledge, and it is anything but! You only got slides and tons of explanation, and frankly speaking, one should come back to this long-hour video not to fall asleep.

[@Minerva___]

Did you ever find a good hands-on course? I'm going through the "More Than Certified" course by Derek Morgan but a number of the videos are fairly out of date, thereby causing some difference in the expected outputs and what he shows in his videos. I get that the tech is changing all the time, but it would help if these paid course content creators kept their information as up-to-date as possible. I like Andrew's style of teaching so I was hoping this would be more hands on.

[@sylviewette5721]

Useful. Passed the exam last month

[@poojanmehta8217]

Amazing content. Thanks freeCodeCamp and Andrew for making this course available on KZbin. Small feedback: it could have been much better if the instructor's intro didn't pop up every couple of minutes. The examPro intro kinda is breaking the flow state :\

[@atexnik]

3:56:40 because a is index 0, not 3. it goes like this, 0 1 2, then 3 4 5 etc. With each iteration is restarts. So, 0 and 3 will return you "a".

[@makelebanon1]

passed and I was only 4 hours into the video, thanks!

[@makelebanon1]

I had minor previous experience with Terraform, I knew the basics

[@inderpreetsingh4471]

I have watched more ads than actual course content

[@hectornos]

2:52:28 I think there is a mistake since is "terraform plan" and "terraform plan -out=FILE" instead of "terraform apply" and "terraform apply -out=FILE"

[@786Peacelover]

Hi andrew. thank you very much for such precious stuff. Is it intentional that you shortened your 12 hours videos? Is there something that was irrelevant and was skipped and is there anything freshly added to this video? I am preparing for co3 exam and this is really helpful.

[@the_g0d0fwar]

Thanks for the dedication ❤

toset returns a structure with n duplciates > toset(["a","b","c","a","c"]) toset([ "a", "b", "c", ])

Great free course. Could use some slightly better editing. Take for example @5:55:44

[@golmatol6537]

What happened to Terraform Basics @1:07:37 ? Seems all the topics in this section were missing.

[@atexnik]

3:58:23 it is confusing, but your explanation is more confusing. Basically, you didn't explain what it does. Actually, it wouldn't be that confusing if you put this before the example: matchkeys(valueslist, keyslist, searchset). It takes the searchset, compare it againsts the keylist, and return values from valuelist from the same index position.
