Terraform allows you to customize modules to accept input parameters which provides a consistent interface for how a given configuration behaves. Terraform's input variables allow users to safely customize their infrastructure by assigning different values to the variables before execution begins, rather than editing configuration files manually. In this course, you will learn how to configure Terraform using variables and explore types, values, strings, and templates and how they relate to expressions. You will learn about conditional expressions, dynamic expressions and how to transition to a zero-trust architecture. Upon completion, you'll be able to describe Terraform concepts including variables, outputs, types, values, strings, templates, conditional expressions, secrets, and how to transition to a zero-trust architecture.
