How to manage Terraform variables like a Pro

Welcome to the tutorial on how to manage Terraform variables like a Pro. As the number of resources provisioned and managed using Terraform increases, we need better ways to manage the complexity of the configurations. In this video, we'll walk through the process to get Terraform up and running with Azure. We will initialize the Azure resource manager provider for Terraform and then plan and create a Resource Group, Virtual network (vnet) and Subnet. We will see how variables help us to modularize the Terraform configuration. We also look at how we can create different configurations for different environments. We look at the precedence in which variables are evaluated while assigning values.
