[@grif22]

I'm really enjoying this course so far. But I've just noticed an issue in your youtube description text above that you might want to update... In the listings of the chapters Lab 2 and Lab 3 are the same title. I think Lab 3 should be a lab called "Providers", but that is actually missing completely on the new site's Labs system. Lab 3 (Lesson 1, Topic 3 as it's called on the Labs) is "Multiple Providers in Terraform" which you have as Lab 4 above. Anyway, from a content point of view, this is a great course so far! Thanks.

[@Nand_Snowwhite]

[@jasmeralia]

I wanted to give a big thanks for this video and the associated labs. This was extremely informative, and brings up the reasons for why the setup other teams at my work are using is configured the way it is. I've been a Chef user for a long time, and prior to that, Puppet. Working with that new team, we're using Ansible and Terraform, so my team has been trying to ramp up on both to be able to contribute to their workload. This was an excellent training session on the latter subject, much appreciated!
