Real-world infrastructure
Build common cloud architectures with Terraform.
📖 Key ideas
- Network: VPC, public/private subnets, NAT.
- Compute: autoscaling groups or Kubernetes clusters.
- Data: managed databases with backups.
- Static sites: storage bucket + CDN + DNS + certificate.
- Use official/well-maintained modules to save time.
💡 Real-life example: Real infrastructure is a town plan: roads (network), buildings (compute), banks (databases), signboards (DNS).
