Day 2: Master HCL syntax and Learn how to write Terraform Code

Learn to write Terraform scripts | How to write Terraform code :
In this Terraform tutorial learn Hashicorp Configuration Language or HCL used in writing Terraform Configurations. In this Terraform tutorial you will learn HCL syntax, different datatypes in HCL, How to write functions, Conditional statements, blocks, attributes and more in HCL. After completing this video you will have good knowledge of HCL and you will be able to write Terraform code easily.

This video is a great foundation for the upcoming videos so do not miss it.

In this video you will learn below Terraform concepts and more
1. Blocks: Defining blocks using type and enclosing them with curly braces.
2. Attributes: Key-value pairs within blocks.
3. Strings and Numbers: Representing string values in double quotes and numeric values as is.
4. Comments: Adding comments using the `#` symbol.
5. Expressions: Performing operations and manipulating values using `${}` syntax.
6. Lists and Maps: Managing collections of values using square brackets `[]` for lists and curly braces `{}` for maps.
7. Variables: Defining reusable values with default values and specific types.
8. Interpolation: Dynamically inserting values into strings or attributes using `${}` syntax.
9. Conditionals: Using `if` and `else` statements for conditional logic.
10. Functions: Leveraging built-in functions for various operations and transformations.
11. Resource Dependencies: Establishing dependencies between resources.

HCL, which stands for HashiCorp Configuration Language, is a simple and expressive language used by tools like Terraform for writing infrastructure configuration files. It is designed to be human-readable and allows you to define resources, their properties, and their relationships in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. HCL enables you to describe your desired infrastructure state in a declarative format, making it easier to manage and automate the provisioning and configuration of cloud resources.
