Terraform #7 terraform init and terraform plan commands

Welcome to our comprehensive Terraform tutorial series! In this video, we'll cover two fundamental Terraform commands: terraform init and terraform plan. These commands are essential for setting up your Terraform environment, initializing your project, and generating an execution plan before making any changes to your infrastructure.

What you'll learn in this Terraform Init and Terraform Plan Guide:

Introduction to Terraform Init: We'll start by explaining the importance of terraform init and its role in setting up your working directory. Learn how this command downloads the necessary provider plugins and prepares your environment for infrastructure provisioning.

Provider Plugin Auto-Installation: Understand how terraform init automatically detects the providers used in your configuration and installs the required plugins.

Backend Configuration: Explore how to configure a backend to store your Terraform state remotely. We'll cover popular backend options such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and HashiCorp Consul.

Initializing Your Project: Follow along as we run terraform init for the first time on a sample Terraform project. Understand the initialization process and the generated files.

Introduction to Terraform Plan: Learn about the critical terraform plan command, which creates an execution plan by analyzing your configuration files. This plan provides valuable insights into what changes will be applied to your infrastructure.

Resource Dependency Analysis: Discover how Terraform performs resource dependency analysis during the planning phase to ensure the correct order of resource creation.

Identifying Changes: Understand how the terraform plan output highlights additions, modifications, and deletions of resources, allowing you to review and validate changes before applying them.

Planning for Destruction: Learn how to use terraform plan to safely plan the destruction of resources, preventing accidental data loss.

Variable Overrides for Planning: Explore how to override input variables during the planning phase, enabling you to preview changes in different environments without modifying the original code.

By the end of this guide, you'll be well-versed in using terraform init and terraform plan to kickstart your Terraform projects and validate changes before applying them to your infrastructure. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cloud engineer, these commands will become essential tools in your Infrastructure as Code journey.
