What’s the CTA: Terraform Challenge? 🎮

Imagine if setting up cloud infrastructure was like planning a heist in Grand Theft Auto V! Over 4 weeks, we’ll get hands-on with how to use Terraform (a tool that helps you manage cloud stuff) to build and scale cloud environments like a pro.

Each week, you’ll have a new mission (or challenge) to complete, and we’ll be here to guide you through every step.

Final Words: Why Should You Join? 🎉

This workshop is designed to be fun, interactive, and super edutainment. By the end of it, you’ll be able to confidently deploy and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform—skills that are in huge demand!
