Terraform conditionals
- Lets use some conditionals in terraform
- Refer Here for the changes made to add the condition for vm creation
- Terraorm has a taint command that informs terraform that a particular object has become degraded or damaged and during the next execution of terraform replace it.
- Terraform taint can be undone with untaint command
- Every provider in terraform gives us data sources which we can use to pull information. The basic syntax of defining datasource is
data "type" "name" {
arg1 = value1
...
argn = valuen
}
- To use the datasource attributes in the terraform configuration syntax is
data.<type>.<name>.<attribute-name> - Terraform has a output block which can display output after the apply is completed
- Refer Here for the changeset with datasources and output
- Refer Here for the demo with aws datasources
