Automating Network Infrastructure with Terraform
In this lab, you'll practice automating network infrastructure with Terraform to provision a virtualized multi-tier network topology and manage infrastructure through the Terraform workflow. When you're finished, you will have successfully provisioned a VPC with multi-subnet architecture, managed infrastructure through Terraform's state management workflow, and implemented modularity with drift detection capabilities.
