This course is designed to help learners obtain the Terraform Associate certification from HashiCorp. 

You’ve likely picked up this course because you dabbled in Terraform as a hobbyist or in a
development environment, and you’re excited about the possibilities of deploying Infrastructure 
as Code (IaC). It will enable you to sharpen your skills and prove your knowledge with a certification from HashiCorp. Terraform is an amazing tool to deploy Infrastructure as Code in a cloud-agnostic way. We’re excited to share our accumulated knowledge with you through this course.

## What is terraform taint command?

The `terraform taint` command taints a resource in the state. Terraform will destroy and re-create the resource the next time the configuration is applied.

Running `terraform taint` on its own won’t destroy the resource immediately; it simply edits the state. Running `terraform plan` on the root module taints a resource that will be re-created on the next execution of `terraform apply`. Running `terraform apply` executes the plan, destroys the resource, and then re-creates it.

### Syntax
The `terraform taint` command has the syntax `terraform taint [options] <address>`.

### Arguments

The `<address>` argument refers to the address of a resource using the same syntax we’d use inside a configuration. For example, let’s say we have an `aws_s3_bucket` resource with a name label of `nginx`. Running `terraform taint aws_s3_bucket.terraform_test_bucket_edu` will result in the following output.
