Terraform

When you start using Terraform to manage your cloud infrastructure, a key consideration is where to store the state file that Terraform generates to track changes to your infrastructure. While storing this file locally on your machine is possible, a more scalable and secure approach is to store it in a centralized location that your entire team can access.

If you run into a problem with Terraform, it can be helpful to capture Terraform’s debug output, so you can analyze it or use it to open an issue case. In this post, I want to show you how to enable terraform logging and set the log location on Windows and Linux operating systems.

In this post, I want to show you how to configure terraform to use an Azure storage account to store and protect your tfstate file. To manage the infrastructure and configuration, Terraform writes the status of resources to a tfstate file.

Today I want to talk to you about terraform, this open-source tool that allows us to define, preview and deploy infrastructure on a multitude of cloud providers such as Azure, AWS, and google, using the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).
