# A Tale Of Two Clouds



> Reading material and code examples



A webinar with A Cloud Guru that showcases how to use Terraform to manage two separate clouds, side by side.



_Note:_ You will need to ensure `wget` is installed locally for the EKS module to validate your EKS cluster's endpoint.

## Prerequisites



As part of this workshop, you will be using [HashiCorp Terraform](https://www.terraform.io) and [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com).



For instructions on how to install Terraform. please see our [Learn Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/getting-started/install.html).



On that page, you will find instructions for macOS (using `brew`), Windows (using `choco`) as well as a manual installation path.



## Reading material



This section is a collection of links that will help you make the most of today's session.



### HashiCorp Configuration Language



- repository: [hashicorp/hcl](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl2)

- intermediate HCL: [Configuration Languages in HCL2](https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/intermediate-hcl-configuration-languages-in-hcl2/)



## First Steps



- CLI commands [terraform.io/docs/commands/index.html](https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/index.html)

- variables and type constraints: [terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#type-constraints)

- variable definition files: [terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#variable-definitions-tfvars-files)

- information about Terraform State: [terraform.io/docs/state/index.html](https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/index.html)



## Next Steps



- Learn Guide: Build infrastructure [learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/getting-started/build](https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/getting-started/build)

- Build your own AMIs with Packer: [packer.io/docs/builders/amazon/](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon/)



### Code Quality



Before `plan` and `apply`, always clean up your code:



- use [terraform fmt](https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/fmt.html) to rewrite Terraform configuration files to a canonical format and style.

- use [terraform validate](https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/validate.html) to validate the configuration syntax and internal consistency

- use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) to run more checks

  - community member [@antonbabenko](https://github.com/antonbabenko/) built and maintains [pre-commit-terraform](https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform)



### Modules



- use modules as building blocks

- module documentation: [terraform.io/docs/configuration/modules.html](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/modules.html)

- module registry: [registry.terraform.io](https://registry.terraform.io)

- Learn Guide: Modules on [learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/modules/modules-overview](https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/modules/modules-overview)
