It's a bit of a shame that some time was lost to issues with the virtual machines on day 1.

So in my mind, we walked out of those three days with the building blocks and knowledge to build just about anything in AWS with Terraform. Not only can we build it, but we can test it, and validate our terraform against best practices and setup pull requests hooks to validate code before allowing it to be checked in.

- After two years of mainly virtual communication, training etc. it was great to have a course on site again togehter with the whole team - Additionally to theory and lab excercises it's very valuable to see the teacher doing stuff live as well, including all mistakes he might do. This greatly helps to getting an idea of how one should work with a tool, get help, debug etc.

Sincerely and not just 'going through the motions' - the trainer's knowledge. Maciek impressed me by leaving no topic unexplained, he could answer every question (either immediately or after delving into the subject), and he spoke fluently and professionally throughout. Only those who are practitioners and have experience can speak like this. I have attended many training sessions and conferences, but this will stick with me primarily due to Maciek's professionalism. His patience with some of us is also significant - I would have already thrown my hands up in the air... Bravo!
