Ritesh Modi · Apress eBooks · 2021
Finally, we are at the last chapter of this book. Terraform offers multiple ways to implement configurations. Technically, they are all valid solutions, and Terraform will not complain about which one you use. However, it is important to evaluate whether the chosen technique for configuration implementation is generic, promotes reusability, is extensible, is secure, and promotes collaboration. This chapter is about implementing Terraform configurations using best practices. This chapter will cover the practices to employ when using various features of Terraform. It will provide best practices related to providers, versioning, variables, outputs, authentication, and many other aspects.
