In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We need to SSH into the node and retrieve the admin password stored in /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword."

A block of code is set as follows:

aws-region = "us-east-1" 
vpc-cidr = "10.0.0.0/16" 
vpc-name = "Terraform" 
aws-availability-zones = "us-east-1b,us-east-1c" 

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

aws-region = "us-east-1" 
vpc-cidr = "10.0.0.0/16" 
vpc-name = "Terraform" 
aws-availability-zones = "us-east-1b,us-east-1c" 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ terraform validate
$ terraform plan
Refreshing Terraform state prior to plan...
...
Plan: 11 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
$ terraform apply
aws_iam_role.jenkins: Creating...
...
Apply complete! Resources: 11 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
Outputs:
JENKINS EIP = x.x.x.x
VPC ID = vpc-xxxxxx

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "We select Pipeline as a job type and pick a name for it."
