MetsiLabs Terraform Acceleration Workshop (TAW)

The MetsiLabs Terraform Acceleration Workshop is designed to help your organization optimize your current HashiCorp Terraform Cloud/Enterprise environment based on your current and desired future states. The MetsiLabs Terraform Acceleration Workshop consists of a prescriptive framework and set of assets provided by MetsiLabs that enables customers to achieve their value based technical and business outcomes with Terraform Enterprise/Cloud. This workshop maps the use of people, processes, and technology in your cloud workflows, to optimize your self-service cloud platform. The MetsiLabs Terraform Acceleration Workshop is the initial step to creating a value-based outcomes (VBO) approach for infrastructure-as-code maturity across your entire cloud environment.
