Mastering Terraform is the first book I purchased to deepen my knowledge of Terraform for cloud infrastructure, and it’s been invaluable. While I had tried learning through video tutorials before, this book truly helped me develop my skills and grasp the language as a whole. It provided the clarity and structure I needed to confidently apply Terraform in my projects.

Mark's does a great job explaining all the foundational elements of Terraform as well as provide great examples that can be applied to the real world. There is plenty of theory as well as applicable examples that helps the reader understand the 'why' behind the application of Terraform. Terraform workflows are Mark does a great job of running through the pros and cons of several popular workflows that can be found in the wild to help the reader understand and choose appropriately. Highly recommend anyone new or old to Terraform.

🚥 After reading this book I had the feeling and emotions of riding a motorcycle and taking the famous corkscrew curve of the Laguna Seca circuit. 🏍1️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ The book begins with a general introduction to the concepts of Terraform architecture, commands and structure of the HCL language.5️⃣ 0️⃣ Then we begin to approach the entrance of the curve, with an overview of architecture and automation in the Cloud: IaaS, containers, GitOps.🚨 When we get to chapter 7 we find that exciting descent, in which we accelerate in our knowledge, with a completely practical and guided explanation of a cloud migration and modernization process of a 3-layer application, with in initial lift and shift, then moving it to a Kubernetes platform, and finally implement it with a native cloud vision, through serverless elements.This exercise is carried out in 3 different cloud providers ( Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure ), which helps us both to understand the process of architecture and automation of deployments, as well as to understand the similarities and differences of each cloud, through Terraform deployments.🏁 Finally, we regained our peace of mind, and closed the book with useful tips for infrastructure maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.🏆 I sincerely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Terraform, and I find it an interesting resource for preparing for HashiCorp Terraform certifications.

I found the book to be incredibly insightful and well-structured. The author did a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable sections, making it accessible even for those who are new to infrastructure as code. The practical examples were helpful in reinforcing the material, allowing me to apply what I learned immediately. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to master Terraform and automate their cloud infrastructure efficiently.
