🧠 What I'm Learning

• Lifecycle Management: Using terraform init, plan, and apply to manage real-world resources.
• State Management: Understanding how to use local state vs. remote backends.
• Modularity: Breaking down complex infrastructure into reusable, clean modules.
• Security: Implementing "Security Groups as Code" and avoiding hardcoded credentials.
