Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Default values are port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for HTTPS."

A block of code is set as follows:

provider "aws" {
 access_key = "<Enter Access Key Here>"
 secret_key = "<Enter Secret Key Here>"
 region = "us-east-1"
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

provider "aws" {
 access_key = "<Enter Access Key Here>"
 secret_key = "<Enter Secret Key Here>"
 region = "us-east-1"
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sudo cp terraform /usr/local/bin

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Gartner introduced the Bimodal IT concept and coined two terms called mode-1 and mode-2 of the development."
