Overview/Description
Terraform provisioners execute scripts for local and remote machines. Terraform modules let you group and use resources. In this course, you will see how to define provisioners. Learn about create-time provisioners, destroy-time provisioners, failed provisioners, Terraform modules, module configurations, local values in Terraform modules, and the Terraform Get command. Study how to plan and apply a Terraform configuration, and use Terraform module outputs. As a review exercise, you will define a provisioner, run a create and a destroy provisioner, configure modules, and finally, use the Get command to load modules and use module outputs.
