Technology moves fast, including in this excellent course!
Please consider updating these areas of the course:
Cloud9 IDE is no longer available and cannot be used for new data engineering projects. Please upgrade the course to something like Visual Studio Code.
Terraform is no longer open source and requires an expensive license to use. Please upgrade the course to something like Open Tofu
Hello @jbwboi2
Thank you for your suggestions! Regarding Cloud9 IDE, do you have a reference confirming that it is no longer available? We are still using it in the labs, and it seems to be functioning without any issues.
As for Terraform, transitioning all the labs would require significant effort. However, I believe that working through the current labs provides students with a valuable understanding of how these tools operate. If they later choose to use alternatives like Open Tofu, the knowledge gained here should make the transition smoother.
