Testimonials (2)
The trainer presented the topics in a very clear, concise and structured approach that was easy to follow. My fellow colleagues commented that the wished they had this training earlier before starting to use Terraform. I also really like the hands-on coding using the VM's. This worked very well. The trainer was also very personable and relatable.

I loved the technical aspects of the exercises - it was great seeing Terraform in action and being able to see the creation of the resources in Azure.
