Terraform Basics covers the foundational principles of infrastructure as code, including how Terraform differs from other provisioning tools, its declarative configuration language (HCL), and the provider ecosystem that connects it to cloud and on-premises platforms. The exam tests your understanding of core concepts like resources, data sources, and provider configuration. Mastery of this domain is essential because every other Terraform topic builds on these primitives, and questions throughout the exam assume fluency with HCL syntax and the resource lifecycle.
