Introduction

HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language) is a high-level configuration language used in tools from Hashicorp (such as Terraform). HCL/Terraform is widely used in provisioning cloud infastructure and configuring platforms/services through APIs. This document focuses on a most recent HCL syntax (0.13).

HCL is a declarative language and terraform will consume all *.tf in the current folder, so code placement order and sequence has no significance. Sub-folders can be consumed through modules.

========================================================
= BACKSTORY
========================================================
I got a new SSD for my windows 10 home desktop computer recently. I used macrium to clone the HDD -> SSD and changed bios to boot from SSD.
But when I tried cleaning the HDD I somehow corrupted something in the windows boot process (no idea how it happened, I never even touched my SSD).

When I start windows I get error code 0xc000000e (A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed), so I have to go into recovery mode.

Most people online fix this by using bootrec, or worst case scenario bootsect.  Nothing works for me.
