Terraform Tutorial | Import Existing Resources to Terraform

Video Description

Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code tool that allows you to create cloud infrastructure with declarative code. Existing infrastructure can also be imported and brought under Terraform management. This tutorial shows how to import existing Linode infrastructure into Terraform to take advantage of IaC.

If you replace those with a reference to the Terraform resource (https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/expressions/references.html#references-to-resource-attributes), Terraform will be able to handle changes between the two more effectively. For example in the example_domain_record configuration: domain_id = "1157521" could be replaced with: domain_id = linode_domain.example_domain.id #Linode #IaC #Terraform #AlternativeCloud Product: Linode, Terraform Import, Infrastructure as Code; Sid Palas;
