Ooh just noticed this! Hurray!!


In this project, we will build the infrastructure to run a service in AWS. The infrastructure will be defined in code via Terraform. We will learn how to build, change and destroy our infra in a safe, reproducible way.

Suggested change
- Understand how Terraform handles state and fixes discrepancies
- Handle state with Terraform state files on a remote backend
- Fix state discrepancies with Terraform state locking

Instead of saying "understand", let's concretise this by listing steps the learner will take to understand. (The state locking is just a guess. I don't know what this project entails.)
