HashiCorp Terraform Labs

Welcome to this HashiCorp Terraform lab repo, where you can get hands-on experience with HashiCorp Terraform using GitHub Codespaces. In this repository, you’ll find a variety of labs that walk you through learning and using HashiCorp Terraform in different scenarios.

Terraform Version: This repo purposely uses Terraform 1.12.x to align with the HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate 004 exam objectives. Labs may not work with newer versions of Terraform, so please ensure you are using the correct version.

Note: GitHub provides users with 120 core hours for FREE per month. Check your current consumption of hours here. Additionally, you can set a limit of spending for Codespaces on your account here.

• A pre-configured development container that installs Terraform and prerequisites in your Codespace.
• Multiple labs, each with its own README.md and step-by-step instructions.
• Example files, scripts, and configurations to help you practice Terraform's core features.
