Hands-on exercises “First Apply”

Exercise

Goal: Learn the Terraform workflow by creating and inspecting a local file resource.

Steps: Follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder.
2. Switch to the new folder.

3. Create main.tf with the following content:

   resource "local_file" "foo" {
     content         = "foo!"
     filename        = "${path.module}/foo.bar"
     file_permission = "0644"
   }
   

4. Run the Terraform workflow:

   terraform init
   terraform plan
   terraform apply
   terraform output
   terraform plan
   

The final plan should report no changes. The resource is already in the desired state.
