FAQ
Which cloud?
Examples use AWS-shaped resources; we include translation notes for GCP users in the appendix.
Do you teach Terragrunt?
We mention it but do not build full stacks with it — keeps the cohort focused on core Terraform.
Honest gap?
Kubernetes provider nuances are only covered at a survey level.
