1. Creating Workspaces
To establish a new workspace for an environment, employ these Terraform commands:
2. Selecting Workspaces
Switch between workspaces through the terraform workspace select command:
This practice ensures that your Terraform configurations and state files remain segregated for each environment.
How To Manage Multiple Environments With Terraform?
In today’s dynamic tech ecosystem, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has evolved into a linchpin for automating the deployment and management of infrastructure resources. Among the leading IaC tools, Terraform stands out for its versatility and robustness. One of the most critical challenges in infrastructure management is effectively managing multiple environments, such as development, staging, and production, while using Terraform as the infrastructure orchestrator. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the art of managing multiple environments with Terraform, providing detailed explanations, practical examples, and a FAQ section to address common questions.
