Highlight: Terraform Associate Exam Prep | Exploring Terraform State
0Exploring Terraform State
Description
Terraform uses a system called Terraform State to keep track of resources managed and deployed through Terraform. This is a critical concept to understand as a Terraform infrastructure developer because Terraform state will always need to be kept in mind when architecting solutions. The state file acts as a database for mapping resources in AWS to the Terraform configuration file. It allows Terraform to have a declarative approach when it comes to infrastructure and provides performance boosts with large-scale infrastructure automation.
In this lab, you will learn how Terraform keeps track of the resources that it manages through the Terraform state.
