Terraform 400

This module is going to focus on some of the deeper advanced things you may come across whilst using Terraform, that you tend to encounter when running projects at scale across multiple environments.

Looking at using state management, workspaces, depends_on, and lifecycles - you will understand how you can tailor behavior and minimize disruptions when developing and deploying your Terraform apps!.

Learning Objectives

State Management

• Understand how Terraform manages state and it how it uses it for infrastructure tracking - but also how it can enable collaboration and reproducible deployments.

Workspaces

• Understanding how workspaces can be used to give efficient environment isolation and management, allowing you to handle multiple deployment scenarios seamlessly.

Depends On & Lifecycles

• Understanding depends_on, to gain the ability to control resource dependencies, ensuring correct order and consistency during provisioning.
• Using lifecycles to provide fine-grained control over resource operations through their lifecycle,
