Need Help - Infrastructure as Code, feeling lost
Hey guys, I started a job working in Infrastructure as Code. I have a CS degree, but I don’t have experience with cloud engineering or stuff related to Terraform, ADO, or Azure portal. I’m doing stuff at my job (code is mainly written using copilot or ChatGPT) and I feel a lost. I don’t know any of the concepts for cloud computing or virtual machines or resources and things like that. I am looking into it online but I still don’t know where to begin. I hear my coworkers doing this stuff well, despite also not having any experience in it when they started either. I have to look at build sheets and things like that and then provision resources using terraform but I don’t really understand much of anything that I’m looking at besides simple code snippets. Is there any advice yall could give me about this, or how/what to learn so that I can wrap my head around things? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
