Terraform & Infrastructure as Code

What’s inside

• The HCL Foundations — resources, variables, outputs, expressions, and the declarative mindset that makes infrastructure reviewable
• State, Done Right — how state actually works, remote backends, locking, and recovering safely when things go wrong
• Structure & Reuse — modules, composition, environment layouts, and managing secrets without leaking them
• Ship It Safely — testing, CI/CD pipelines, and drift-proof operations that keep the real world matching your code
• Lab-first, failure-first — everything runs locally on Docker, and you meet real disasters by name: the stuck lock, the mass-destroy, the ghost diff, and the lost state
• 54 practice & bonus challenges — hands-on tasks with hidden solutions in every chapter, so the concepts stick
• 5 Production-Grade Capstones — a production container estate, a multi-environment platform, a brownfield adoption, a published module product, and a self-grading incident simulator
