If you’re an engineer using Terraform in a team (or CI/CD) and you’ve ever worried about state corruption, drift, locking issues, or “who changed what” , this guide is built as a practical survival manual. It covers remote state, state locking, drift detection, safe recovery, and real-world workflows so you can operate Terraform confidently in production. Terraform becomes safe and scalable when you treat state like a first-class system: ✅ Remote State → store state centrally (not on laptops) so teams and pipelines stay consistent ✅ Locking → prevent concurrent applies that can corrupt infrastructure ✅ Drift → detect when real infra diverges from code (and fix it safely) ✅ Recovery → handle lost/invalid state, rollbacks, imports, and “bad apply” scenarios Read here: https://www.cloudopsnow.in/terraform-state-management-remote-state-locking-drift-recovery-the-engineers-survival-guide/ #Terraform #IaC #De...
If you’re starting with Terraform (or you’ve used it but still feel shaky on “modules vs state vs workspaces”), this guide is a clean, engineer-friendly walkthrough that explains the fundamentals with real examples —and shows how to build Terraform in a maintainable, production-ready way. Terraform becomes easy when you follow a simple path: ✅ Core concepts → providers, resources, variables, outputs (and how plans really work) ✅ Modules → reuse infrastructure like “packages” (structure, inputs/outputs, versioning) ✅ State → why remote state matters, locking, drift, and safe workflows ✅ Workspaces → when to use them (and when not to) for env separation ✅ Best practices → naming, folder layout, secrets handling, CI/CD, linting/testing, and guardrails Read here: https://www.cloudopsnow.in/terraform-for-beginners-modules-state-workspaces-best-practices-with-real-examples/ #Terraform #IaC #DevOps #Cloud #AWS #Azure #GCP...
