Terraform Basics - Primitive Data Types

Welcome to our Terraform Basics series! In this episode, we dive deep into Primitive Data Types in Terraform. These essential building blocks—numbers, strings, and booleans—are the foundation for more complex data types in HashiCorp's configuration language. We'll explore how each type works, when to use them, and even cover two quirky additions, "any" and "null."

Topics covered:

🌮 Understanding primitive data types in Terraform
🌮 Proper syntax and usage for numbers, strings, and booleans
🌮 Insights into multi-line strings with heredoc syntax
🌮 Handling "any" and "null" for flexible configurations

This is part of the Terraform Basics series, a set of video created to focus on one aspect of Terraform and explain it in detail. While not a replacement for a full course, if there's something in Terraform that doesn't quite click with you, hopefully Terraform Basics will fill in the gaps.
