The terraform associate exam is a critical exam to add to your CV for landing your next cloud role. For me, I needed this exam very quickly to ramp up for landing a consulting project. I was looking for a resource to take with me while I traveled remotely and also included sample exams (these are critical for studying) with the option to download a PDF copy of the book (so that I can read it on my computer as well). I trust packt to provide this holistic approach which is good value, buy once and have the book and get access to the digital content to go along with the physical bookThis book is the perfect resource. It has enough content to stand on its own to act as a reference in itself, but for the exam preparation it is structured to address the exam criteria that HashiCorp publishes. The book does progress from foundational to more advanced I think most readers will appreciate this especially if you have not used some of the features that largers business use with their own terraform deployments (workspaces, encrypted state, multi-cloud, custom providers, import, etc).The mock exams are pretty close to what you will experience on the cert test and you will find that the questions will show you your learning gaps. You can find the reasons for the right or wrong responses in the book.I would recommend this one to anyone looking to take or re-take the associate exam from HashiCorp and use this as a huge boost to your resume and work experience!

It keeps things clear and focuses in on what you need to understand to pass your exam.The book starts with a strong introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and the importance of Terraform in modern DevOps practices. This foundational knowledge is essential for understanding Terraform's broader impact on infrastructure management. The guide excels in breaking down the exam objectives, covering topics from Terraform basics and configuration files to advanced subjects like state management and resource dependencies. Each chapter builds on the previous one, ensuring a thorough understanding of the material.Practical examples and hands-on exercises are among the book's greatest strengths.
