Welcome to CloudsWar a website where you can practice your Infrastructure As Code (IaC) skills. The site allows users to try different
cloud based coding challenges. The goal is to help users learn to use IaC solutions by giving them a variety of scenarios and allowing
them to test their knowledge in an environment where they can't break production systems.
Guests will be able to choose the cloud platform and the difficulty level but will be given a random challenge. Logged in users have the
benefits of being able to choose a challenge or randomizing it and will also have statistics to track their progress.
Using AI is not permitted, please dont use AI to find the answers to the challenges as it defeats the purpose of the site. When using AI
you gain nothing from this site as you are not learning.
For questions or issues you have please email support@cloudswar.com Enjoy the challenges and best of luck on your learning journey!
Low
These are easy challenges that help build a foundation for IaC. They give you some of the code and you just need to complete the
implementation. These challenges only make you build one resource but is a nice starting point if you are not comfortable with IaC or if you
are trying IaC on a new platform or with a new technology to manage the infrastructure. They are however worth the least amount of points.
Medium
These challenges raise the bar a little and you are expected to create the entire file(s) to implement the solution. You will not be
expected to do anything to complicated but there will be multiple resources you will need to make. These are worth slightly more points
and get you building some actual solutions that may be seen in real scenarios.
High
These challenges really push you to create large scale environments using IaC. You will most likely encounter some infrastructure that you
have never built to develop with leading edge technology and new services. They are worth allot of points and will really challenge you and
get you the skills needed to make any environment that you may encounter.
First Try
Expert mode, you better really know what you are doing here. These challenges not only stretch your abilities and test your limits with new
cutting edge technologies but you will only get one try to get points. While you can if you want try again if you fail you will only get
points for it if you completed the challenge the first time and the challenge will show as failed in your account unless you pass the first
time you submitted it.
Points are based on the difficulty level, additional points are currently given for proper formatting of terraform files. Other ways to
get additional points will be added in the future.
You do not fail a challenge for improper formatting as long as the terraform creates
the required resources.
