Terraform Examples

A personal learning journey through Terraform — starting from the basics and progressively building up to more advanced modules and patterns.

Each topic lives in its own numbered folder and contains a self-contained example along with its own README.md explaining what it demonstrates and how to run it.

• Folders are numbered in the order they should be learned (NN-Topic-Name).
• Sub-examples within a topic follow NN-MM-Sub-Topic-Name.
• Every example folder has its own README.md with prerequisites, the commands to run, and what to expect.

Examples

#	Topic	Description
01-01	Terraform Command Basics	Core Terraform CLI workflow (init, validate, plan, apply, destroy) using a single EC2 instance

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed locally
• An AWS account with credentials configured at %USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials (Windows) — $HOME/.aws/credentials on macOS/Linux (examples default to the AWS provider unless noted otherwise)

Notes

• Examples are for learning purposes — review resource sizing/regions before applying against a real AWS account, and remember to terraform destroy when done to avoid unwanted charges.
