EP08 - Terraform State

🚀 In this episode, you'll learn what the Terraform State file is, why it exists, and how Terraform uses it to manage your infrastructure safely. We'll go far beyond theory by performing real hands-on demonstrations, including importing existing AWS resources, moving resources inside the State, and removing resources from State without deleting them from AWS. You'll also see how Terraform State acts as the bridge between your code and your real cloud infrastructure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What you'll learn What is Terraform State?
