Using Variables to Create Dynamic Terraform Configurations

Variables in Terraform are used to define dynamic configurations that can become reusable by passing in input values. This allows us to use configurations that can easily deploy multiple services.

In this Cloud Lab, you’ll create a reusable Terraform configuration using variables.
