Some advanced features Terraform offers become useful when your project grows in size and complexity. It’s possible to alleviate the cost of maintaining complex infrastructure definitions for multiple environments by structuring your code to minimize repetitions and by introducing tool-assisted workflows for easier testing and deployment. In this tutorial, you’ll first deploy multiple infrastructure instances using different workspaces.

Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL), which Terraform uses, like other programming languages provides a few different types of loops. In this article, we’ll review the data structures HCL provides, its looping features for resources (the count key, for_each, and for), writing conditionals to handle known and unknown values, as well as explicitly specifying dependency relationships between resources.

Terraform outputs are used to extract information about the infrastructure resources from the project state. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about Terraform outputs their syntax and parameters by creating a simple infrastructure that deploys Droplets. You’ll also learn about parsing the outputs programmatically, by converting them to JSON.

Terraform provides automation to provision your infrastructure in the cloud. To do this, Terraform authenticates with cloud providers to deploy the resources and perform the planned actions. However, the information Terraform needs for authentication is very valuable. In this tutorial, you’ll hide sensitive data in outputs during execution and store your state in a secure cloud object storage, which encrypts data at rest. You’ll also use tfmask to censor values in the Terraform execution.

Structuring Terraform projects appropriately according to their use cases and perceived complexity is essential to ensure their maintainability and extensibility in day-to-day operations. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about structuring Terraform projects according to their general purpose and complexity. Then, you’ll create a project with a simple structure using the more common features of Terraform: variables, locals, data sources, and provisioners.

In this article, we define Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and explain the benefits of IaC in development and deployment workflows. We also start to learn about Terraform’s role in the IaC workflow and understand “what is ‘state’?” in IaC.
