Dynamic Terraform
You've heard of Terraform, maybe even written some scripts using it. You've heard that Terraform is capable of dynamic behavior using blocks, for loops and counters. And you've glanced at the Terraform functions list, but wondered how one would ever go about using those?
We've got you covered.
In this session, we'll build a set of Terraform scripts that can be fed a YAML file, and using Terraform's dynamic capabilities, we'll build infrastructure as specced out in the YAML file.
We'll be covering a host of different topics in this session
Terraform's dynamic capabilities including dynamic blocks, for and for_each loops
Terraform's functions and datastructures
