Let’s learn how to generate a random password using Terraform. If you have already tried to deploy one AWS RDS, AWS Secret Manager, AWS MSK, or anything that requires authentication, you need to manually define passwords on your Terraform. However, you can use the approach below with any cloud provider, like Azure, or Google Cloud. The …

Let’s imagine one scenario where you have a big Terraform project, and your last changes generate a plan that looks complex. Sometimes, we don’t want to apply those changes at once. Today, we will learn how to apply …
Building a complex environment using Terraform requires us to be aware of many features that support us in making our infrastructure as code more dynamic. Thinking about that, we will learn how to design a configuration that contains repeatable blocks of a specific setting. If you have already used Terraform Count before, you know that there are …
Hey Bits Lovers! Let’s continue with our articles about AWS. And today will talk about how to use AWS Secret Manager. First, we’re going to examine is what Secrets Manager is. Then we will see what we can store inside Secrets Manager. We’ll then look at the automatic rotation. This is a full AWS Secret …
How to create Terraform Conditional? Like if-statement? Terraform is a declarative language. As we know, infrastructure-as-code in a declarative language gives us a more accurate picture of what’s deployed than in a procedural language, so it’s easier to reason about and makes it more straightforward to preserve the codebase small. However, specific types of tasks …
In the last article, How to Debug Terraform, we talked about tips that could save a lot of time. Today, we will see that Terraform contains some Environment variables that help us automate the workflow to execute the phases needed to deploy our resources. When we talk about CI/CD, the Terraform has some environment variables …
It doesn’t matter which project or technologies you use to build your environment or application. Debugging is a skill that we always need to improve and saves us a lot of time when we can get the root cause faster. When I built my first cloud resources in the cloud using Terraform, I ran into …
Let’s go through some basic concepts about Terraform Variable Types. Like any language or framework, we need to learn how to work with the core variables of any language. And because we use variables to store any data, we also need to classify them according to the data type. The Types of variables on Terraform …
