Congratulations on completing the Terragrunt course! You’ve taken a deep dive into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with a focus on Terragrunt, gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your existing skills, you’re now equipped to build, manage, and scale infrastructure more efficiently.

Key Takeaways

  • Core Concepts: Mastered Terragrunt’s configuration patterns, blocks, and built-in functions.
  • Remote State Management: Configured and secured remote state backends.
  • Modular Infrastructure: Created reusable Terraform modules and orchestrated them with Terragrunt.
  • Real-World Demonstration: Applied your skills in an AWS environment, bridging theory and practice.
  • Hands-On Labs: Reinforced learning through guided exercises that simulate real deployment scenarios.

Example: Installing Terraform CLI

Here’s an example of downloading and unzipping the Terraform binary on a Linux system:

$ curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.8.3/terraform_1.8.3_linux_amd64.zip
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 26721624 (25M) [application/zip]
Saving to: “terraform_1.8.3_linux_amd64.zip”
