Previously we were repeating some logic in the UI layer in order to recover relevant additional context about a change to report to a user. In order to help keep things consistent, and to have a clearer path for adding more such things in the future, here we capture this user-facing idea of an "action reason" within the plan model, and then use that directly in order to decide how to describe the change to the user. For the moment the "tainted" situation is the only one that gets a special message, matching what we had before, but we can expand on this in future in order to give better feedback about the other replace situations too. This also preemptively includes the "replacing by request" reason, which is currently not reachable but will be used in the near future as part of implementing the -replace=... plan command line option to allow forcing a particular object to be replaced. So far we don't have any special reasons for anything other than replacing, which makes sense because replacing is the only one that is in a sense a special case of another action (Update), but this could expand to other kinds of reasons in the future, such as explaining which of the few different reasons a data source read might be deferred until the apply step. |

Terraform

- Tutorials: HashiCorp's Learn Platform
- Certification Exam: HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
The key features of Terraform are:
-
Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
-
Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
-
Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
-
Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.
Getting Started & Documentation
Documentation is available on the Terraform website:
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.
Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.
