Terraform Certification – How I passed
In this blog, I want to take the time to help anyone interested in getting the Terraform Associate Certification from Hashicorp. The test runs abbout 60 mins, has 57/58 questions, and although there is no definite answer to what a passing grade is, I’m betting it is around 70%. The certification itself is pretty young…
