Debugging and Fixing Terraform State - Watch Me Work

I just wanted to add some Azure AD groups. But Azure is down. Terraform Providers don't support my m1 Macbook Pro. And of course I have conflicts in Terraform State 🤷‍♀️ Watch me struggle through and tackle each problem.

You 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 feel proud, these videos are incredibly useful to me.

Thank you for persevering with the cutting process Julie, your editing had improved a lot and the increased Zoom is very helpful.

I'm trying to transition over to DevOps from Ops and seeing these kinds of videos demystifies things to make that goal feel reachable.

Hi Julie, thanks for showing this. I've been learning TF for the past few months and good to see how an experienced TF engineer struggles and eventually overcomes an issue. Cool mug btw.

Hi Julie, brilliant video and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was smiling all along thinking, yep that is me, yep yep... but honestly that is soooo good seeing you doing real live stuff. Again thanks and I know it takes a lot of effort.

Have you done a tutorial on how you set up your different Terraform folder structures and service connection import details? As someone quite new to Terraform this would be useful to know.

Would you be able to do a video on your terraform project structure? I’m working with terraform for the first time and trying to figure out the best ways to be efficient and write clean code. I see your structure but I can’t quite make out how it all fits together.

Why does the TF state get corrupted if you upgrade the version and then try to downgrade again??
