sha512 Function

-> Note: This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and earlier, see 0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax.

sha512 computes the SHA512 hash of a given string and encodes it with hexadecimal digits.

The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA512 algorithm is applied as defined in RFC 4634. The raw hash is then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.

Examples

> sha512("hello world")

  • filesha512 calculates the same hash from the contents of a file rather than from a string value.
  • base64sha512 calculates the same hash but returns the result in a more-compact Base64 encoding.
