What is CODE THEFT AUTO? šŸŽ®

Imagine if setting up cloud infrastructure felt like pulling off a heist in Grand Theft Auto V! Each week, weā€™ll embark on a new Terraform heist, where weā€™ll tackle real-world cloud scenarios with step-by-step guidance. From deploying AWS resources to scaling your infrastructure, weā€™ll make learning cloud infrastructure fun and engaging.

No pressure, no competitionā€”just a series of adventures to get hands-on with Terraform and AWS. It's all about learning, discovery, and a bit of chaos (Trevor would approve).

How Does It Work? šŸ› ļø

Visual Breakdown of the Series

GitHub Repo: Everything you need is housed in our GitHub repo. Each week's heist (a.k.a. scenario) is already set up for youā€”just clone the repo and dive into the tasks. Youā€™ll find the full heist breakdowns, starter code, and tips.

Twitch Streams: Join me live on Twitch to work through the heists together! Iā€™ll walk through each solution, explain the concepts, and answer your questions. Weā€™ll also troubleshoot as a team, so no one gets stuck on a mission. Stream Time: Check out the stream schedule on our Twitch channel. Grab your coffee, itā€™s a cozy Sunday morning heist!

Patreon Chat: If youā€™re part of our Patreon (free access), youā€™ll get exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content, live discussions, and extra help with your Terraform adventures.

Weekly Terraform Heists šŸ’„

Each week, weā€™ll tackle a new heistā€”like setting up an S3 bucket or creating a Lambda function. Hereā€™s a sneak peek of what the structure looks like:

Every heist is broken down in the README.md file for that week, and youā€™ll find everything you need to get started in the /heists/ directory. If you ever get stuck, donā€™t worryā€”there are live walkthroughs and the Patreon chat to help guide you.

Why Should You Join? šŸŽ‰

This isnā€™t just another tutorialā€”Code Theft Auto is about having fun while learning to build and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform. Whether youā€™re just curious about cloud computing or looking to sharpen your skills, this series will help you confidently deploy and manage cloud infrastructure.

Plus, itā€™s like planning a heist in GTA V, but instead of robbing banks, youā€™re building your very own cloud empire! šŸš€šŸ’°

You donā€™t need to be a cloud pro to join. Everyoneā€™s welcome! If youā€™re new to Terraform or just looking to explore AWS, this is the perfect way to start or level up your skills in a relaxed, supportive environment.

So, are you ready to jump into Los Santos (cloud edition) and pull off some epic cloud heists? Letā€™s go!
