Data Types: Complex Types

Explore Terraform's complex data types like objects and tuples to efficiently combine different variable types within modules. Understand how to define types explicitly and use the 'any' keyword for flexible inputs. This lesson equips you to create and test modules with advanced data structures to enhance infrastructure-as-code configurations.

Create a module

The first thing we’ll need to do for this lesson is, create a folder named ltthw_complex_data_types.

Complex types: objects

Complex types allow us to collect variables of different types into a single variable.

If you’ve used object-oriented languages, the object type may look familiar. It allows us to bind together variables of different types to specific names in a way similar to a class in other ...
