Andrew's Terraform Code Examples

Documenting solutions to interesting Terraform problems.

Requirements

Just terraform, though consider installing asdf-vm if you want to be sure you're using the same version I used.

Examples

• Dynamic Templatefile Rendering
  • Keeping templatefile() function calls and the files themselves DRY — avoids writing variables twice, as input and output.
• Traversing Nested Maps
  • Illustrating how to navigate nested map structures to facilitate iterative resource creation.
• Normalizing Input Files
  • Using the external data source to pass a file through a linter before consuming it to avoid unnecessary destroy/recreate cycles.`
