I have watched many videos, including those on Udemy, but I couldn't get a clear understanding of the concepts anywhere. As a beginner, whenever I watch your videos, I understand everything very well. You explain things in a very simple language and in an excellent manner, which is very beneficial for beginners like me. Dil se shukriya.

[@RaghavPal]

So happy and humbled to read this.. Thanks Sweety

[@despahotaru]

Yes! This is probably my fav course I've seen using Terra form. Not too complicated but also not too elementary. Thanks Raghav

[@RaghavPal]

You're most welcome

[@jensharbers5620]

Bought a course from Udemy and I did not grasp the fundamentals. I found your video about Terraform for free and I got all concepts at the first try. Amazing

[@RaghavPal]

So happy to know it helped Jens.. keep learning

[@nikhilmaliyan8384]

Amazing content (up-to-date new automation tools)❤❤

[@RaghavPal]

Glad you like them Nikhil

[@SunShinepkg]

Thank you. you are a great teacher.

[@RaghavPal]

Most welcome

[@khatwanik]

Thank you Raghav!! This is very good tutorial with examples covering key topics including how to organize code and manage environments. This helped me brushing up my Terraform knowledge. It would be great if you can add a couple more chapters on how we can create a private module registry and how those modules can be referenced by multiple teams in their Project. And a tutorial on CICD with popular tools like Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.

[@RaghavPal]

Glad it was helpful Kumar.. I will plan to add more on this

Problem solved sir 👍 and thank you for sharing this complete course for free❤️

[@anirbanchatterjee5942]

What is the main purpose of modules? First, I thought it would create inside parent instance, but it creates another one. Could you please explain the point?

[@RaghavPal]

Anirban Let's dive into the purpose of Terraform modules and how they work. 1. What Are Terraform Modules?: - Terraform modules are reusable packages of Terraform configuration code that allow you to break down your infrastructure into smaller, manageable pieces. - Instead of defining everything in a single directory, you can develop components like networking, computing, storage, etc., and combine them together using modules³. - Modules provide a way to organize, share, and reuse Terraform code, making it easier to manage complex infrastructure deployments efficiently². 2. Understanding Modules: - A Terraform module is a collection of standard configuration files (.tf or .tf.json) kept together in a dedicated directory. - Modules encapsulate groups of resources dedicated to one task, such as creating a virtual machine, setting up a database, or configuring a load balancer. - By creating modular components, you can achieve better organization, maintainability, and reusability in your infrastructure code. 3. Module Hierarchy: - Every Terraform configuration has at least one module, known as its root module. The root module consists of the resources defined in the .tf files in the main working directory. - A Terraform module (usually the root module of a configuration) can call other modules to include their resources into the configuration. These called modules are often referred to as child modules. - Child modules can be called multiple times within the same configuration, and multiple configurations can use the same child module¹. 4. Benefits of Using Modules: - Reusability: Modules allow you to create reusable building blocks for different parts of your infrastructure. You can share modules across projects or teams. - Abstraction: Modules abstract away the complexity of resource creation. Users of the module only need to provide input variables, while the module handles the details. - Isolation: Each module operates independently, reducing the risk of unintended side effects when making changes. - Scalability: As your infrastructure grows, modules make it easier to manage and maintain consistent patterns. 5. Creating and Using Modules: - To create a module, organize your Terraform configuration files into a directory structure. - Define input variables (parameters) for the module, which allow users to customize its behavior. - Use these modules in your main configuration by calling them with the `module` block and providing values for the input variables. 6. Example: Let's say you're creating a web application infrastructure. You might have separate modules for: - Networking: VPC, subnets, security groups. - Compute: EC2 instances, load balancers. - Database: RDS instance, backups. By using modules, you can compose your infrastructure by combining these building blocks. In summary, Terraform modules allow you to create reusable, self-contained pieces of infrastructure configurations, making your code more organized and maintainable. They're a powerful tool for managing complex deployments --

Hi sir Im in windows automation for past 1 year due to client project. Overall I've 4 yrs experience in automation (Selenium, Playwright, appium, c sharp, java, api basic level using postman and soapui). What should I focus next please tell? My actual experience is 7 yrs, worked like 3 years in core and then switched to automation tester job. I'm going to be 30 yrs old. Please guide me for my strong carrer path. I like automation testing a lot. Currently due to this windows automation using telerik for 1 year it is like boring for me no growth in skills. I'm now with same Selenium, Playwright, telerik and appium level. What I can learn further please tell sir? Is there any testing for AI or AI based testing tools?

[@RaghavPal]

Shyam It's great to hear about your experience in automation testing! Given your background, here are some suggestions for your career path: 1. Advanced Test Automation Frameworks: - Dive deeper into creating robust and scalable test automation frameworks. Explore design patterns (like Page Object Model or Screenplay Pattern) and implement them in your projects. - Learn about dependency injection, parallel execution, and reporting tools (such as Allure or Extent Reports). 2. Performance Testing: - Gain expertise in performance testing tools like JMeter or Gatling. Performance testing ensures your applications can handle expected loads and stress. 3. Security Testing: - Explore security testing tools like OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite. Understanding security vulnerabilities and how to prevent them is crucial. 4. API Testing: - Since you have basic knowledge of API testing using Postman and SoapUI, consider diving deeper into RESTful API testing, GraphQL, and API automation. 5. Mobile Testing: - Extend your skills to mobile automation using Appium. Explore cross-platform testing for Android and iOS. 6. AI-Based Testing Tools: - AI testing tools leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to automate software testing. They predict and identify bugs, enhance scalability, and improve overall testing efficiency. - Some popular AI-based testing tools include: - Katalon Studio: Offers AI-powered visual testing - Applitools: Provides visual AI test automation - Functionize: Offers self-healing cloud testing - Testim: Focuses on AI-driven test authoring - Mabl: Offers low-code load testing 7. Continuous Learning: - Stay updated with industry trends, attend webinars, read blogs, and participate in relevant communities. Regarding AI testing, it's an exciting field! AI testing tools leverage machine learning to improve test coverage, find hidden defects, and enhance overall quality. They learn from past scenarios and adapt over time. These tools can be a valuable addition to your skill set as the industry continues to evolve
 Keep exploring and enjoy your automation journey --
