Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a standard practice of maintaining infrastructure configuration as code. Terraform is a cross-platform tool that introduces the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) for the provisioning of infrastructures on different cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

First you’ll learn about the basics of IaC and the tools used for it. Next, you’ll learn about Terraform, how to deploy resources using it, and the Terraform state file. Then you’ll cover the basics of HCL, followed by how to work with outputs, expressions, and loops. You’ll also cover local and remote provisioners, and learn how to employ HCL to provision and manage resources using different concepts like modules, variables, provisioners, and the Terraform state file. Finally, you’ll learn how to use the Terraform Cloud.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to provision, delete, and update resources on a cloud platform using Terraform. Knowing how to use Terraform effectively will set you up for success.

Infrastructure as Code Using Terraform

# Overview

Managing our Terraform infrastructure is possible because Terraform maintains the state of our infrastructure. The state is maintained in a file called a state file or the `terraform.tfstate` file. The state file contains the mapping of our infrastructure on our cloud platform to the configuration files we've defined.

# Terraform state file format

The Terraform state file is written in JSON. One important thing to note is that it's not recommended to modify a Terraform state file directly for any reason. The state file gives a finite breakdown of our infrastructure and helps us rebuild our infrastructure again if the need arises.

The way our state file is stored is determined by the Terraform backend that we're using, whether it's a local or remote backend. 

Learn how Terraform stores and alters its infrastructure state.
