Prerequisites
- A terminal, Git, and an AWS account you are allowed to use.
- AWS CLI access through SSO or Identity Center, not long-lived access keys.
- Terraform or OpenTofu installed from the compatibility contract.
AWS infrastructure, one reviewed plan at a time
24 practical chapters move from a provider-free first plan to a production-shaped EKS capstone. You review every change before it can create a cloud resource.
$0 plan-only does not create cloud resources.
review cost needs an account, region, and cleanup check.
paid lab must include a cleanup step before you apply.
Read the plan, name the intended change, then apply only when the chapter says to. Use the same HCL tree with Terraform or OpenTofu, but do not mix state ownership between them.
