Best practices and certification
Write maintainable Terraform and get certified.
📖 Key ideas
- Structure: main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, versions.tf.
- Small, composable modules; avoid giant root modules.
- Never hard-code secrets; use secret managers.
- Document modules with READMEs and examples.
- Certification: HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
💡 Real-life example: Clean Terraform is a well-labelled toolbox: anyone on the team can find and use the right tool.
