Terraform

An IaC tool.

By- Bandan Kumar Sahoo


What is IaC? Why Terraform?
IaC stands for Infrastructure as a
Code.
This is a process of creating
infrastructure through code and not
in the manual process. Terraform is
an IaC tool that uses HCL language
to write code and spin up
infrastructure.
What are modules in Terraform?
It is the logical grouping of
resources let's say we are spinning
up a loadbalancer or EC2 instance
and other team is also doing the
same thing. So, we can create
modules in terraform which is
nothing but the common code that
can be shared to other groups and
then can put their values
accordingly.
What is state file in Terraform?
a) It keeps track of the resources
that terraform is managing.
b) If any new resource is created or
old is deleted, terraform keeps the
track and alos tells the same to the
user.

What are some most commonly


Terraform CLI commands that is
used frequently?
i) terraform init
ii) terraform validate
iii) terraform plan
iv) terraform apply
v) terraform refresh.
What is terraform remote backend?
It is the location where terraform
state file is stored remotely in a
repository like S3 to version control
the HCL code written for
infrastructure spin up. When
working in a team or with multiple
environments, it's essential to store
the state remotely, allowing
collaboration and synchronization
among team members.
What is resource graph terraform?
When you write terraform code, you
define resources and their
relationships using the HCL.
Terraform uses this information to
build the resource graph, which
determines the order in which
resources are created, updated or
desttroyed to maintain consistency
and avoid potential dependency
issues.
What is tainted terraform
resources?
In Terraform, when a resource is
marked as tainted, it means that
terraform considers the resource to
be in an invalid or unknown state.
Tainting a resource is a way to flag it
for destruction and recreation during
the next terraform run.

What is terraform state rollback?


S3 stores all the version of state
files fetch the previous version you
want to apply for terraform through
aws cli and replace it with new one
as a new version in S3. Then simply
"terraform apply". This will apply the
old version of terraform
If terraform.tf state file is deleted
what can be done?
There will be massive overlap
between the resources if terraform
apply comand is run again because
terraform will not realise the
previously created resource as there
is no track.
solution : Here "terraform import"
command is used to import existing
infrastructure into your terraform
state.

What are features of Terraform?


a) It allows creation of infrastructure
in multi-cloud environment such as
AWS, Azure & GCP.
b) It maintains a state file which is
version controlled and this keeps the
track of changes in infrastructure.
What is the functionality of
"terraform validate" command?
a) It checks the syntax of all the
created .tf files in terraform.
b) It doesn't check the spaces and
all but checks if any modules are
relative, invalid HCL references,
missing equal signs, etc.

20+ resource running on terraform


and we have to destroy one.
terraform destroy --
target=resource_type.resource_nam

Drawbacks of Terraform.

a) Restricted to one language.


b) Even if terraform plan is executed
successfully, terraform apply fails
sometime.
c) State is fragile means by anychance
you delte the resource manually, you
need to manually change the state file.
d) Terraform cloud is a vendor lock and
third party dependency you can't
diagnose.The most irritating thing is
"you have exceeded the API's rate limit"
