Hi coach love your channel i fell in love ever since i stumbled onto your channel, by the way have subscribed and always reading your blogs very educative have really leant a lot, appreciate you on this well done.
But a point of notice i was of the opinion that terraform should have been used for provisioning and creating a new Ec2 instance in AWs cloud in this video instead of Ansible that is basically used as configuration management tools, my views anyway would love to be corrected on this. thanks
