Exercise 6

Back to Main

This exercise is meant to test your ability to run basic terraform commands and make a modification to a terraform module.

The actual outcome of this exercise is purely to ensure you can run basic terraform commands, and a simple test to see if you understand templating in terraform. DON'T OVER THINK IT!

Step 1 Initialize Workspace

• Initialize, Plan, and Execute the Terraform configuration in the directory to create an initial HelloWorld.txt.

  HelloWorld.txt contents

  Hello NONAME,
  
  Welcome to terraform templating!
  Can you list 3 things you like?
  
  Provide List here:
  
  
  - BonkeyWonkers
  
  

Step 2 Modify Terraform Module, Update HelloWorld text file

• Update the Terraform template(HelloWorld.tftpl) file so that the resulting HelloWorld.txt includes 3 things you like, each on a new line.

  NOTE: The purpose of this exercise is to test your knowledge of terraform variables and templates. To complete this step, you should make use of a list that is iterated through using Terraform's templating to render the final HelloWorld.txt

  Exmample List for user GameThis

  Pizza
  Gardening
  Programming
  

• Run Terraform again

  Expected Output

  Hello GameThis,
  
  Welcome to terraform templating!
  Can you list 3 things you like?
  
  Provide List here:
