Basically this website is running software called Terraform and 0.12 is a huge step forward in the version of this. I mostly went over the upgrade guide from the <a href="https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-12.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer ">Terraform Website</a>. It worked pretty well but a few things were not as clear to my understanding. Attributes vs Blocks was pretty straightforward, which was one of the biggest things I had to change. The other thing I changed was moving to dynamic blocks for some of the code. Using <a href="https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-guides/tree/master/infrastructure-as-code/terraform-0.12-examples/dynamic-blocks-and-splat-expressions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer ">dynamic blocks</a> really cleaned up the core of the code and allowed me to move some of the configuration to variables to make it easier.</p>
