Terraform in Depth

This template was developed alongside Terraform in Depth, which is currently in the Manning Early Access Program. As new content is released in the book this template will be updated. The next big release for this template will come when Chapter 9 is released, which focused on testing with Terratest or the new Terraform Testing features.
