Thank you very much for this informative valuable course. I'm a DevOps Engineer who has already used terraform before. I came to refresh my memory for terraform associate certification and learnt some things I didn't even know before. Simple interesting delivery and very useful hands-on labs. Recommend this to anyone who wanna build a solid foundation in terraform.

42:22 I have a question regarding providers. Which providers need to be declared in configuration? I see lots of code samples, where provider "aws" is declared, but, for example provider "local" or "clouinit" is not declared. So, I am confused on which providers need to be declared explicitly, while others can be implied automatically by Terraform? Thanks.

[@Kumbutranjaami]

You have to declare those providers to which you need specific version other than the latest version. You don't need to declare those providers to which you don't have any specific version requirement

[@atexnik]

@@Kumbutranjaami thank you!

[@KodeKloud]

if you are not using any resources from a particular provider, you do not need to include a provider block for that provider in your configuration. For example, if you are only using resources from the local provider, you do not need to include a provider block for the AWS provider.

[@atexnik]

@@KodeKloud my question was different.

Wonderful content, thanks! Anw just wondering if there are missing lectures for example it is mention that count was covered, also one on ec2 but didnt manage to catch them

[@JustenC]

It looks like you refer to "count" in the for_each discussion but count was never discussed 1:46:30

[@jmckey]

agreed! I searched for just these keywords b/c I was befuddled by the same thing. Guess I'll have to google the whole 'count' thing to understand the context.

[@KodeKloud]

The for_each expression can be used in conjunction with the count parameter to create multiple instances of a resource, with each instance being created based on a different value in the map or list.

[@shijieteng8264]

Hands down, most wonderful course to get started on the journey without getting confused. It's using AWS though, I want similar kind of lab for Azure + Terraform, can anyone guide me in right direction with this kind of setup ?

[@KodeKloud]

Once you learn AWS + Terraform, it will be easy for you to do Azure + Terraform. The only thing you have to refer the similar Azure code from terraform documentation & use it.

I believe there is a mistake in the "variables.tf" in the lab for "Count and for each" task 06. There are no default values. Also there are no hints for this task, this is the only place where I got stuck. I also have a feeling that the count lesson is missing.

[@pawansikawat8050]

Correct The count lesson is missing, even I was very confused.

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!

[@armyofda12monkeys]

Very good tutorial! I just had one question for the last KodeKloud test for Version Constraints, how come for these conditions: version = "> 1.12.0, != 1.13.1, < 1.13.3 " The correct answer given was 1.13.2. Why not 1.13.0? Doesn't 1.13.0 satisfy all 3 conditions?

[@KodeKloud]

"The version constraint ""> 1.12.0, != 1.13.1, < 1.13.3"" can be read as ""greater than 1.12.0, not equal to 1.13.1, and less than 1.13.3"". Based on this constraint, the correct answer is indeed 1.13.2, because it satisfies all three conditions: ""Greater than 1.12.0"": 1.13.2 is greater than 1.12.0. ""Not equal to 1.13.1"": 1.13.2 is not equal to 1.13.1. ""Less than 1.13.3"": 1.13.2 is less than 1.13.3. On the other hand, version 1.13.0 does not satisfy the constraint because it is not greater than 1.12.0 (it is equal to 1.12.0)."

[@armyofda12monkeys]

​@@KodeKloud Hmmmm so when you say: "version 1.13.0 ... is not greater than 1.12.0 (it is equal to 1.12.0)."... you are saying these statements: (!(1.13.0 > 1.12.0)) == true (1.13.0 == 1.12.0) == true But both doesn't seem to be true? 1st one to me is false since 13 is greater than 12, so why wouldn't 1.13.0 be greater than 1.12.0??) and "(1.13.0 == 1.12.0)" is clearly false?

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.
