Use Terraform for deploying resources in multiple environment
<p>In my previous post <a href="https://medium.com/@jaseenathan/creating-azure-resources-with-terraform-a-step-by-step-guide-af53584db357" rel="noopener">azure resource deployment</a>, I laid the groundwork by hardcoding values into our <code>main.tf</code> file. This approach was designed for clarity, focusing on grasping the Terraform workflow. However, in practical scenarios, we often need to deploy to multiple environments, such as development, staging, and production. This article delves into how we can adapt and replicate our setup for these diverse environments, taking us from tutorial to real-world applicability.</p>
<p>In this article, we explore how to use the <code>variable.tf</code> file paired with <code>terraform.tfvars</code> for multiple environment.</p>
<p>Introducing <code>variable.tf</code> ,<code>dev.tfvars</code> <code>prod.tfvars</code>files where <code>variable.tf</code> acts as a declaration hub, defining variables with names, types, and optional default values. This centralizes variable management. Meanwhile, <code>.tfvars</code> assigns values to these variables, allowing for easy, environment-specific variable configuration. This separation streamlines the handling of variables across various environments by employing multiple <code>.tfvars</code> files.</p>
